Love the staccato brevity of the sentences. It seems to support the existential immediacy of a reflection that is from the past, yet in the speakers mind right now
I so love the mix of more 'superficial' things with the actual family. Great list / prose poem. Thanks for introducing me to a new poet. I also want check out more in Roanoke Review :)
This was a gem. I can relate to the way memories and images pop and flash when I try to reflect on my own upbringing. Speaking or writing about family for me is never linear.
I’m not from the South, yet can identify with every word. Great poem.❤️

Beautiful and hopeful and painful all at the same time. Like family.

Just phenomenal

You’re very welcome, friend. Thank you for your wonderful work🌻
Visceral and stunning. I love the imagery of "scraped and gouged with fingernails sharper than the beak of a condor."
