The First Day

By Beth Gordon

Vivid and intimate, The First Day is both a confession and an excavation. Beth Gordon's hybrid chapbook pieces together one-way conversations that enter a complex world of relationships spanning several decades yet remaining tethered to revelations in ordinary places. Part prose poem, part experimental memoir, Gordon taps into a universal sense of vulnerability in love and grief, ever struck by the truth that no matter what happens, " the present day keeps moving. Who can keep up?"
