Exploring themes of elegy and connection, this collection of poems delves into loss and the bonds that tie us to life. Set against the backdrop of the American South, the speaker and his son navigate memories of ancestors, revealing the interplay between kinship and grief. Vivid imagery, such as fireflies in a jar and the warmth of familial ties, captures the fleeting moments of joy and the desire to preserve them. Ultimately, this work serves as a heartfelt tribute to home, heritage, and the salvific power of poetry.
