Book Description
"Just as whales echolocate to navigate their way around objects, Diane Thiel uses her poetic voice to echolocate through the various landscapes of myth, consciousness, and the physical world. Folded into the layers of landscape are aural echoes of meter and rhyme that guide Thiel's poems through the hollows of loss, the search for lineage and love, and the personal and societal ruins of war"--From publisher's description.

Book Description
Poetry. African & African American Studies. Family reunions are special occasions, a time of connections, reflections, of meeting new members, remembering those no longer with us, more than a little gossip (a good reason not to miss one if you don't want to be the one talked about!) and (mostly) good-natured kidding, occasional recriminations and grievances aired or confined to knowing side glances, and perhaps most importantly, the chance to pass on and keep alive the history and lore of the family from one generation to the next. Grace C. Ocasio's FAMILY REUNION is all of these things, and in reading this book we are privileged guests at just such an event, invited to hear the stories of her relatives across multiple generations. Because this is an account of an African-American family, it is necessarily in part a chronicle of racism and injustice and thus a contribution to the poetry of documentary witness. There are moments of tragedy (a child permanently brain damaged by being dropped by a nurse at birth) and indignity (a woman denied a PhD by Harvard because of her race), but also triumphs (one man becomes a celebrated physician, and many in the family graduate from college and go on to successful professional careers--including the author). These poems speak candidly of the experience of being Black in America. But that is not all that they do. What they reveal most of all is how this one family's story manages to be both uniquely their own and simultaneously universal, because we can all recognize ourselves and our own messy histories in these pages, whatever our race or origin. We've all encountered that uncle, that grandmother in our own families; we've heard the lectures (or given them ourselves) on hair and clothing, behavior and expectations, the suitability of suitors, all the friction at generational boundaries. Now, more than ever, we need to be reminded that we are all one family--however dysfunctional. To say that Ocasio does this with grace may be a pun, but it is also the truth. The book ends with a brief prose account of a family reunion that is hilariously chaotic, leaving the author with "hysteria welling in my throat." Well, that's family for you! But what a treat it is to get to know this one.

Book Description
For years, James Edward Phillips kept his wife and children in the dark. All through the time in the tall stone house on the corner of Howard Road, through the nights of the Blitz and the summer holidays at Brean, he let everyone think that he had never known his parents and that any brothers and sisters he night have had were lost without trace. On the few occasions when he made some reference to his early life, he spoke as though he had emerged into history at the age of six when someone in London had packed his belongings in a little wooden box and put him on a train to Bristol. When Louie's father dies, she discovers that she didn't know him at all. Suddenly people are appearing claiming to be relatives - people Louie and her sister had never heard of, people who knew their father very well indeed. What was her father's secret? How could anyone have a hidden life for decade after decade? As Louie researches the gas-lit streets of Victorian London to find out the truth about her father's family, she takes the scant facts she can gather and imagines what really happens into a story of her own. Though as she keeps asking questions, she discovers that her father was not the only one in the family with secrets to keepa What Louie creates is a vivid story of two pampered daughters fallen on hard times, of better instincts corrupted by exhaustion and petty revenge, of cold-blooded calculation, of passion, and of rending betrayals of the most bitter kind.
