Barnes & Noble arranged a book signing event for Jere Truer’s poetic book The Art of Dying. Jere Truer signed copies of his book, for excited customers at Barnes & Noble book store and had a great time interacting with lovers of art and prose. Jere shared, “My book validates the grieving experience rather than the typical reflex to sweep it away and ‘carry on’,” The Art of Dying takes a raw and real approach to the process of grieving. The book is an antidote to the denial of loss and death that is rampant. Given that everyone at some time experiences the loss and death of a loved one, this book can be relevant to everyone at a point in their lives. Jere Turner is a psychotherapist and a proficient poet who has published astounding poetic work in the past. Jere felt inclined to write the book when his first wife Tamara was sick and eventually passed away so others dealing with a similar situation can benefit from his experience. He later re-married to Monica Schurtz and lives in Arizona now.
