About this title

Synopsis

Poetry. California Interest. Women's Studies. LGBTQIA Studies. A serial poem written at the beginning of each day for one year by the prolific poet and long-time editor Jocelyn Saidenberg, KITH & KIN imbricates dreams, waking, friendship, and grief. In reproducing everyday banalities of mourning, Saidenberg finds herself "in proximity to others who are also with me, ones who mumble, who yell in rage, who are recently or long dead, who dream of me at night."
