Plot

A book-length elegy that is both grief-fugue and exploration of family psychodrama, this poetry compilation explores the poet’s feelings of loss associated with his brother’s mysterious death. A narrative exploration of masculinity and brotherhood, it recalls the events of the past and invokes sorrow and anger. From uncertainty, trauma, and silence comes a creative work filled with the power and gravity owed to the dead.
