Anchor (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781949039351)

Threaded with epistolary poems to Gravity--envisioned as a capricious god as the author's father began to fall frequently at the outset of a progressive illness--Aronson's latest poems contemplate and address what anchors us, literally and figuratively. The poems in Aronson's third collection excavate grief during the process of losing parents, one to physical illness and the other to dementia. But even in the midst of grief, Aronson never loses sight of the larger world, ever present in all its danger and beauty.
