Andrea Stone has told a short story in verse, page long fragments of a personal tragedy, a parent dropping a child from a bridge. Like learning a terrible new word, once you read this, you will begin to see the act repeated in the news with chilling regularity. This collection, more rhapsody than narrative, is the accounting of one mother's tortured coming to terms, as she stalks her surviving child three decades later. As the two characters get closer and closer together, the reader enters the lyrical tumult of the mother's inner voice, alternating with scenes that watch the adult child from the third person point of view, told as only conceptual poetry could. poetry Poetry, Levellers Press<
