| Sumario: | This volume brings together work that reflects the interweaving of history, memory, and the indelible bonds between living and dead. Comprising poems written and published over the span of four decades, this thematic collection highlights the unity of Osbey's voice and narrative intent. The six sections of the book reveal the breadth of her poetic vision. "House in the Faubourg," contains poems focused on the people and places of New Orleans, and the penultimate section, "Unfinished Coffees," examines the Crescent City within a broader, more contemporary meditation on culture. "Something about Trains" use trains and railway stations as settings from which to inspect desolation, writing, and memory; and "Little History, Part One" recounts tales of European settlement and exploitation of the New World. The poems in "What Hunger" look at the many facets of desire, while "Mourning Like a Skin" includes elegies and poems addressing the lasting presence of the dead. |
