Exploring themes of family and memory, Richard Bausch's debut collection showcases his poetic prowess alongside prose reflections. The poems touch on various subjects, particularly his relationships, with a poignant tribute to his sister in "Barbara (1943--1974)." Complementing the poetry are two prose pieces that offer candid, affectionate insights into his childhood and family dynamics. Through these works, Bausch contemplates the enduring sense of belonging he derives from his family, aiming to impart these values to his own children amidst a turbulent world.
