Description
A powerful, book-length poetic dialogue unfolds among the voices of a sister, brother, parents, and ancestors as a family confronts estrangement, illness, and the impending loss of a beloved son and brother to AIDS. Moving between memory, grief, anger, and tenderness, the work explores the wounds carried across generations and the difficult possibility of reconciliation. With lyrical intensity and dramatic, polyphonic form, it considers how family, identity, and love endure in the face of death. The result is an elegiac yet ultimately searching meditation on loss, healing, and the bonds that connect us.
