Beschreibung
A debut collection that draws on the poet's Iranian heritage to process life-altering loss and grief. Darius Atefat-Peckham s debut poetry collection follows a boy s coming of age in the aftermath of a car accident that took the lives of both his mother and brother. Through these poems, Atefat-Peckham constructs a language for grief that is porous and revelatory, spoken assuredly across the imagination, bridging time and space, and creating a reciprocal haunting between the living and the dead. Inspired by the Persian epic The Book of Kings, the Sufi mystic poetry of Rumi, and his mother s poetry, these poems form a path of connection between the author and his Iranian heritage. Book of Kin interrogates what it means to exist between cultures, to be a survivor of tragedy, to practice love and joy toward one s beloveds, and to hope for greater connection through poems that wade through time and memory like so many fish spreading swimming in the green-blue. Book of Kin won the 2023 Autumn House Poetry Prize.
