a litany of words as fragile as window glass examines life in the aftermath of a suicide. Weaving in and out of memories, traveling through time, these prose poems are an inquiry into the life of a brother, an attempt to piece together a narrative and illuminate the legacy of trauma that precedes—and endures after—suicide.

This collection interrogates the limitations of language in the face of grief: the ways in which words fall short, the seeming futility of conveying such a personal and tragic loss, and the enduring necessity of the attempt.
