Belongings

An ambitious, intricately wrought corona of sonnets ponders the nature of belonging in every sense of the word.

Belongings as possessions, as the history and furnishings of a life, and as the places in which life itself happens are the preoccupations at the heart of this affecting collection. Moving from memories of a childhood apartment to mourning for the poet's mother, Belongings explores the question: "Where, how, and to what do you belong?"
