The author writes a series of poetic imaginations around the idea of family and identity. The enduring presence of both tends to adhere to fiction, pure and simple, so that the things, the events of our communal time and country are also thrown into this mode of a fictive certainty. The result is a series of lyrical encounters with the loneliness and seeming impossibility of the personal--a universal suffrage that informs everything that happened (history.)
