This issue of Paris Review includes an article and a poem by M.F.K. Fisher. In "Jumping from Bridges", Fisher explains her view that there is a spiritual strength or power involved in some suicides, and that taking one's life is not always a bad thing. This was written in 1986 and reprinted in Harper's Aug. 1995, and also in Telling Stories: An Anthology for Writers, Ed. Joyce Carol Oates, NY: Norton, 1998. pp. 292-295. "Why Again" was a poem written in 1965. p. 296. Both pieces were also printed in Fisher's posthumous volume of writings called Last House.
