The Loving Detail of the Living & the Dead

By Eleni Sikelianos

Book Overview

Beautifully crafted poems that investigate the intersections of the living and the dead in stunningly simple language.

The Loving Detail of the Living & the Dead inhabits the collisions, sometimes at the atomic level, sometimes at the level of the preposition, between past, present, and future. Doppelgangers, family, friends, and a semi-oracular figure named Charlene move between worlds, shifting forms in an overlapping arrangement of time and memory, as each organ, atom, and word casts its traveling shadow across the screen.
