Landscape With Headless Mama by Jennifer Givhan

An intimate, unsettling meditation on family and memory that knits together domestic scenes, bodily imagery, and landscape to probe grief, absence, and the ways trauma reshapes identity; spare, often surreal language alternates tenderness and rupture as the speaker confronts maternal loss, inherited wounds, and the rocky work of remembering, transforming ordinary detail into a lyrical reckoning with love, culpability, and survival.
