Everything you need to understand or teach Vigil (Poem).
"Vigil" is an elegy by American poet and professor Phillis Levin. Originally published in The Art of Losing (a 2010 anthology of poems about grief and healing edited by Kevin Young), "Vigil" concerns the gradual adaptation to life after experiencing loss. Levin uses questions, an irregular rhyme scheme and meter, and vivid figurative language to invite the reader to embrace life again after bereavement.
