GATHERING BROKEN LIGHT
Noted as a Distinguished Favorite by the Independent Press Award committee and the 2022 NYC Big Book Award Winner for the Poetry/Social Justice Category, Gathering Broken Light confronts pasts we cannot understand, largely following the October 2017 mass shooting. Anchored in the severity and the beauty of the Mojave Desert landscape, fractured narratives, surrealist repetition, and imagistic lyricism work to contemplate grief, including both overwhelming sorrow and deep love. To those lost by gun violence, a voice yearns, “I wish I could sing the sky to you.”
