Obit by Victoria Chang

In a poignant exploration of grief and loss, this collection of poems delves into the aftermath of a parent's death, using the metaphor of obituaries to mourn not only the deceased but also the intangible aspects of life that are lost in the process. Each poem serves as an obituary for different facets of existence, from friendships to emotions, capturing the profound impact of absence and the struggle to find meaning amidst sorrow. The narrative weaves through the complexities of memory, identity, and the passage of time, offering a deeply personal yet universally resonant reflection on the nature of mourning and resilience.
