Today’s poem imagines the long life of Lazarus as he awaits, like Eliot’s magi, “another death.” Happy reading.
Do you know of the Lazarus poem that’s also told from his point of view, but ends as he walks out of his tomb?
I know a couple of good Lazarus poems. Do you mean this one? https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poetrymagazine/poems/58345/the-raising-of-lazarus
Yes, maybe that was it. It feels similar at least, suggesting that being raised from the dead wasn’t a gift as much as everyone wanted it to be. Thanks, Sean!
