How can that memorialization rend the veil between the living and the dead? In \u003cem\u003eCord Swell\u003c\/em\u003e, a debut volume, brittny ray crowell sifts through decades of obituaries, journals, and other ephemera to exhume the intimate remnants of her grandmother and other family members in her hometown of Texarkana, Texas. Drawing on a familial archive that contains nearly sixty years of material, she preserves her relatives' stories and voices in poetic form. This remarkable collection tirelessly seeks to reveal, redress, and interpret the past. In the absence of physical traces, the poems in \u003cem\u003eCord Swell\u003c\/em\u003e become altars, thin spaces where crowell communes with loved ones through shared memory and ancestral lore.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Eclipse\"\u003cbr\u003e i'm gonna collect every word\u003cbr\u003e you ever spoke \u0026amp; put them in a box\u003cbr\u003e somewhere then one day let them fly\u003cbr\u003e like a chorus of moths landing on brown\u003cbr\u003e tree branches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brittny Ray Crowell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1324111151\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781324111153\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e W.
