About Us
Join Carrie Etter as she reads from and discusses her recent and highly acclaimed poetry collection Grief's Alphabet, a shattering elegy for the poet's mother that celebrates love in the same breath as it weeps for its loss.
The early poems portray the family from its beginnings with the narrator's adoption through adolescence, addressing experiences of bereavement, poverty, attempted suicide, and teenage pregnancy. The second section wrenchingly conveys the mother's unexpected death and the banal yet painful aftermath of sorting clothes, finding the will, and arranging the funeral, as well as the first excruciating months of mourning. The final section presents life after loss through the long work of grieving.
