Grief Poetry

This is a literary composition composed for those who feel like nobody's listening. For my comrades, my mom and my dad, and my two sisters who showed me what it means to be different. For the drug addicts that fiend but still dream of better conditions, huddled with puddles on pillows with Brillos and pipes, not bathed or slept in days, high as a kite. For the single parents that struggle working doubles, taxing their muscles so their children can comfortably cuddle and sleep at night.

These are poems about conversations that we'd like to have with ourselves and with others when our bodies and minds are fraying.

POWIEŚĆ O DOJRZEWANIU, BEZRADNOŚCI I ROZPACZY. Jakie tajemnice skrywa stary domek letniskowy? Mieszka w nim Sara, młoda, samotna kobieta. Od siedmiu lat niemal codziennie wkłada znoszone buty i przemierza wielokilometrową trasę w poszukiwaniu grzybów. W ten sposób zarabia na życie i... utrzymuje więź z przeszłością. Wiadomość o śmierci matki przywołuje wspomnienia i wnosi do życia Sary szereg zmian. Bolesne sekrety skrywane od lat powracają i nie pozwalają już o sobie zapomnieć. Istnieje tylko jeden sposób, by wreszcie od nich uciec.

The poems in An Interesting Detail confront our shared, layered past (both planetary and human) and its knotty relationship to the present, stretching from today to prehistory, in a voice that is knowing and yearning, sincere and sardonic, and at times defiant. Campanello’s prose poems, brief lyric outbursts, and poetic sequences ludically navigate catastrophe and sweep us up in the minutiae of everyday life, which includes pain and illness, machinations of power and moments of suspended connection.

In Trace Evidence, the urgent follow-up to his award-winning debut Into Each Room We Enter without Knowing, Charif Shanahan continues his piercing meditations on the intricacies of mixed-race identity, queer desire, time, mortality, and the legacies of anti-Blackness in the US and abroad.

Following on his exquisite Stones, Young's new collection shapes stories of familial and familiar love, inspired in part by other lives. A central sequence, “The Two-Headed Nightngale,” is spoken by Millie-Christine McCoy, the famous conjoined African American “Carolina Twins.” Born into slavery and ill treatment as a “freak” sensation in 1851 and later free women, their alto and soprano voices harmonized, and Young's poem explores their evolving selfhood and self-understanding: “As one we sang, /we spake— / She was the body / I the soul / Without one / Perishes the whole.”
