Family Poetry

I Had A Brother Once is a brilliant, genre-defying work - both memoir and epic poem - about the struggle for wisdom, grace, and ritual in the face of unspeakable loss. Adam is forced to re-remember a brother he thought he knew and to reckon with a ghost, confronting his unsettled family history, his distant relationship with tradition and faith, and his desperate need to understand an event that always slides just out of his grasp.

“Ese cepillo de dientes que tienes en la mano, De verdad que para mí es un villano. Demasiada pasta de dientes, un dulce necesito, Aliméntame por favor, al menos solo un poquito. Tu cepillo no me deja alcanzar lo que quiero, Deseo escarbar y taladrar un agujero, Sé que te dolería, pero no me importa, ¡Por favor, detente ya; mi ser ya no soporta!”

Chronicled in four parts, shifting restlessly between the author's childhood memories, the sudden disappearance of his brother, and the inevitable loss of his ailing mother, Late to the Search Party explores what it means to be a family of one—to be orphaned, whether by fate or by circumstance. In language that is both grounded and ethereal, Dawson tallies the losses and looks at what remains: the frustration and anger, the bewilderment and sadness—and the affection and humor that makes itself felt in spite of everything.

El cazador ************** Un día caluroso de verano, frente al ventilador Estaba el gato blanco sudando por el fuerte calor De pronto, fuera de la ventana se quedó espiando A una pequeña ave que afuera estaba trinando Desde la espalda al frente, el gato se pudo estirar Y pensó: “¡Que buen día este para salir y cazar!”

Walking Gentry Home tells the story of Alora Young’s ancestors, from the unnamed women forgotten by the historical record but brought to life through Young’s imagination; to Amy, the first of Young’s foremothers to arrive in Tennessee, buried in an unmarked grave, unlike the white man who enslaved her and fathered her child; through Young’s great-grandmother Gentry, unhappily married at fourteen; to her own mother, the teenage beauty queen rejected by her white neighbors.

At age 93, Comer Hawkins decided he still had much to say, and in a few months, wrote over a hundred poems.

Families are many things, to many lives at different times. A joining of togetherness, to help each live their life. Be it in trust, with kindness at its foundation. Many relatives are without explanation. Lives come together, be it as it may. Without source or guidance, or so some would say. Whatever the fashion and however it might be told. Four-legged, furry buddies are part of the family mold. Kendrick Sims February 2025

Ranging across history and continents, these poems operate in the spaces in between, their haunting lyrics creating new, hybrid territories. The Perseverance is a book of loss, contested language and praise, where elegies for the poet's father sit alongside meditations on the d/Deaf experience.

If you want blessings as you live, In goodly measure, learn to give; A kindly life of selflessness Will boomerang to blessedness. Fluent and expressing a keen insight into the complexities of modern-day life, such is the quality and content of Anna Daisy Siemens’ Poetry and Prose. Never trite and overdone, however, the verse possesses a freshness coupled with a candidness that renders it unique. And moreover the underlying theme of the collection as a whole is quite clearly drawn. And that is, beyond the superficial materialism that too many of us pursue as being the ultimate in happiness...
