Age of Forgiveness - Caleb Curtiss

nCaleb Curtiss's debut full-length collection faces the sudden death of his sister as he recounts the traumatic childhood they shared together. In 33 lyrically charged poems and five visual erasures, Age of Forgiveness documents a familial apocalypse from its onset to its aftermath. A God too busy to return Noah's frantic calls, a vast, Eden-like lawn, and a rundown strip mall arcade all serve as backdrops for these poems, which do not deliver easy answers or serve as neat parables, but exist as documents that seek to shed light on what it means to recover.n
