“The poems in As Are Right Fit comprise a deeply affecting twenty-first-century elegy, by turns mournful, bitter, loving, grief-stricken and hilariously funny.  Their lifeblood is Benjamin Grossberg’s infallible eye for the telling, riveting, unforgettable detail. This is the rare elegy that offers an open-eyed and many-sided, as well as extremely vivid, portrait of its subject.  Here, we have a son eulogizing his dead mother without an iota of sentimentality, demonstrating an abiding love that has managed to overcome error, imperfection and disappointment.”
