Following their successful pairing on 2017’s flora, fauna & h. sapiens, Pat Smekal and Ian Cognitō have reunited to explore the ins and outs of our mortality, the afterlife, and the "D" word. This collection explores this rather lofty topic through elements of humour, introspection, and compassion and serves as a companion piece to Old Bones & Battered Book Ends (an anthology on Ageing curated by these same two authors), also on Repartee Press.
