Courageous and astute, this collection of poems, written in varied styles, explores the emotional upheavals caused by the estrangement of a son. Weaving together complex layers of personal history, these poems capture the poet's personal journey in trying to understand how these things happen in families and the process towards reconciliation.
With lyrical concision and emotional restraint, the fierce, elegant and sometimes elegiac poems in The He We Knew speak to the joys and losses of the human heart. These are poems that startle and haunt.
