Sometimes I Forget How to Be a Person

By Peter Grandbois

In Sometimes I Forget How to Be a Person, Peter Grandbois explores how the natural world shapes our understanding of self, grief, faith, and belonging.

Taking inspiration from Ted Hughes's Crow, the collection alternates intimate lyric poems with a sequence voiced by a darkly comic trickster who questions God, envies bees, and searches for meaning in an absurd and wounded world. "I wake with waiting/ wanting what tree I am/ to bird and leave."

Filled with birds, trees, insects, weather, and moments of startling beauty, these poems blur the boundaries between human and animal, body and landscape, asking what it means to remain open, connected, and fully alive.
