faller, the debut poetry collection by Jules Delorme, is a deeply moving work that resonates with tenderness, clarity, and emotional truth. As a Mohawk First Nations writer, Delorme brings forward a voice that feels both intimate and transformative, offering readers a perspective that lingers long after the final page. His poems are shaped by memory, especially the profound bond he shared with his grandmother, someone whose unconditional love and quiet strength continue to echo through his words. She recognized in him a beauty and purpose that now emerges vividly in his storytelling. Through faller, Delorme invites us to reflect on our own beginnings: the places, people, and moments that shaped who we are. His writing gently carries us backward while grounding us in the present, reminding us not only of where we come from, but why we continue to stand, endure, and grow.
