The Size of Dark Cherries

By Lisa Olsson

The Size of Dark Cherries is a poignant reflection on the extended family. Perspective shifts from that of mother to sister, daughter and granddaughter. Through these various lenses familial bonds, decay, fear, loss and joy are explored. The poems weave together threads of personal history, including divorce, senility, death, and motherhood. Musical, spare, unsentimental, these lyric poems speak to tenderness and grief amidst the cross currents of present and past.
