manifests

by Brendan McEntee, Donald Zirilli (Illustrations)

A manifest is at once a thing, a record-keeping, a reckoning, as well as a presentation of something not at first apparent. This work, born in the aftermath of the poet's wife's passing, attempts to approach both to simultaneously create and record moments together, some large, some small, all present and raw as the poet seeks to seam together life as it is with life that has been. As one early reader commented, "Every one of these is simultaneously rending in palpable grief while also a triumph of love of life spent together."
