	Brilliant and unsettling . . . Bratton's observations of Crane, mental suffering and re-entry to the world as being like the sight of the white tip of a rolling wave, are profound, moving and courageous
Other text	Part-biography, part-memoir, Stronger than Death is the story of modernist poet Hart Crane's final year in Mexico; the story of his mother's grief after his death; and an exploration of the author's struggles with mental illness in the years she first discovered the power of Hart's poetry.
