摘要

People preserve their loved ones in creative ways. Henry Ford so admired his friend Thomas Edison that he supposedly trapped his last breath in a test tube. Others wield their pens in tribute. Two new memoirs try to capture the essence of the people the authors love but have lost. Elizabeth Alexander, a professor of African-American studies at Yale and author of several books of poems and essays, is best known for composing "Praise Song for the Day", a poem for Ba-rack Obama's inauguration in 2009. Her tender memoir hinges on a different historic day in her own life, when her Eritrean husband, Ficre Ghebreyesus, suddenly died of heart disease, only four days after his 50th birthday. One of their sons found him unresponsive by the treadmill in their basement in New Haven, Connecticut.
