Day of the Dead - Softcover
From a surreal funeral vision in New Orleans to the many shades of love, these new poems ferry the reader between the underworld and the light. Coming to terms with bereavement, the loss of love, and betrayal, Katie Donovan travels from personal stories to imagined realms, from the fate of an Indian outcast to a lover's treachery, from the lamprey grip of a heroin addict to the shooting of one cousin by another in the 1798 Irish rebellion, to watching a healer in Brazil perform surgery without anesthetic. Gradually talismans of death are turned inside out as the poet's path ascends to the living world, and a sequence of journeys. These poems dance with the skeleton at the crossroads between the end and the beginning, the visceral physical world, and the phantom parade of the past.
