The poems in Peter Mladinic's The Homesick Mortician restlessly probe. Beneath each piece, there's the "why" that perplexes the poet. In "How Amazing," Mladinic, an animal rights advocate, asks why we can't see the value of animals. And in his most harrowing poem "Light and Dark," he shows the reader how power can be both a gift and a crime. Even in Mladinic's persona poems, written in the voices of people who have committed heinous acts, one finds deep compassion. This is the book to read when you need a partner in outrage, and when your heart needs healing.
