Description
A searing, intimate collection of poems, *Ararat* examines the aftermath of family loss through the intertwined perspectives of daughters, mothers, sisters, and wives. Confronting the death of a father and the wounds embedded in an imperfect family history, the poems explore grief, memory, love, resentment, and the fragile possibility of reconciliation without offering easy resolution. Rich in religious symbolism and recurring images of burial, gardens, flowers, and seasonal renewal, the collection questions how suffering shapes identity—and whether love can survive the forms imposed upon it. In language that is restrained, lucid, and emotionally devastating, the work transforms private mourning into a universal meditation on family and the human need to make meaning from loss.
