Ceremonies of Family is a growing collection of poetry that peels back the layers of a family’s most intimate moments. These poems are river rock — smooth in their testament to the violent forces that created them.

An unflinching look at abuse, racism, and death, this collection also speaks to the tender tomorrows that must follow.
