The Bones of His Being

In unflinching lyrics, Sue Chenette confronts her father’s depression and death. Probing memories, fingering mementos – a square nail, a sketch on a napkin – she examines them for what they may reveal of the father she was sure she knew, deepened, in death, into the mystery of his own being. The poems are a journey through grief, both a search for the father she loved and a searching look into a father/daughter relationship. {Guernica Editions}
