Live in Suspense

Více o knize

Exploring themes of grief, familial relationships, and the complexities of faith, this collection delves into the speaker's reflections on his father, a pastor burdened by nostalgia and loss. The poignant title poem captures the fragility of love, while the father-son dynamic reveals bitterness and unresolved tensions. In contrast, the mother-son poems offer a gentler touch. Through vivid imagery and clever wordplay, Groff navigates the aftermath of a strict religious upbringing, ultimately confronting the emotional weight of memory and identity.
