Fiction Poetry
death attend. But when the war is won, and life stares,
hungry, in the parents’ faces, where does that violence,
anxiety, and shame go? The poems in Patter re-imagine
miscarriages as minstrel shows, magic tricks, and comic
strips; set Darth Vader against Oedipus’s dad in competition
for “Father of the Year;” and interrogate the poet’s
family’s stint on reality TV. In this, his third collection,
award-winning poet Douglas Kearney doggedly worries the line
between love and hate, showing how it bleeds itself into
“fatherhood.”
