Synopsis
A stark, multi-part narrative poem about love, violence, memory, and the long ache of a broken family.
The book blends intense domestic scenes with mythic, dreamlike imagery to probe what keeps people bound to place, guilt, and history.
In these pages, the familiar rhythms of family life give way to psychological and emotional storms. Through free verse and lyrical prose, the book traces a mother’s endurance under a husband’s fury, the silent pull of two sons, and the restless ache of a house that holds both memory and pain. Across shifting tonal gears, the collection moves from intimate and brutal moments to a broader meditation on loss, time, and reconciliation with the past. The title stories intertwine with imagery drawn from landscapes and dreams, creating a powerful atmosphere of haunting beauty and hard-won insight.- Experience a kinship between hardship and resilience as a family confronts secrecy, abandonment, and longing.
- Follow vivid scenes of conflict, tenderness, and quiet revolt that shift with mood and memory.
- Observe how place, memory, and ritual reshape suffering into a work of art that asks what healing might look like.
- Explore symbolism of the wounded bird and other natural images that illuminate inner life and moral failure.
