In this episode, I explore<em> OBIT [Ambition]</em> by Victoria Chang, a poignant reflection on how we grieve not just physical deaths but abstract losses as well. Delve deep into the background of Chang’s 2020 collection, \"OBITS\", and understand the inspiration and intention behind her poetic obituaries. Join me in decoding this evocative poem that intertwines grief, ambition, memory, and more. Whether you're a poetry enthusiast or someone navigating the maze of grief, Chang's words will resonate deeply. </p><p><br></p><p><a href=\"https://poets.org/poem/obit-ambition\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">The Poem</a></p><p><a href=\"https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/44215/rhapsody-on-a-windy-night\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">T.S.
