“Author and artist Lillian Moats has, once again, provided us with imaginative insight on the human condition, this time with intuitive irony about one of the greatest mysteries we face: death.  In The Letter from Death, a slim volume of poetic prose, Death comes alive to comment on the historic panoply of human images of death and to contrast them with a personal understanding of this dreaded existential event.  This is not a mere letter, rather, it is surely a love letter — one that urges and inspires us to stop creating horrors worse than death and to care for one another.”
