Inscriptions<\/em><\/h1>\n

Cammy Thomas<\/h2>\n

A meditation in the face of impermanence, Inscriptions<\/em> is a book about a family in crisis. Three strong women\u2014a mother, an aunt, and a sister-in-law\u2014serve as focus for the collection as these compressed lyric poems wrestle with illness and \u201cdeath,\/ tangy as copper\u201d and the ways in which they reshape a family. Thomas seeks consolation in what endures, discovering a sense of what’s sacred in the ordinary.
\n“The Emperor of Oyster Bay,” from Inscriptions<\/em>:<\/p>\n

He rode to the hunt with trumpets and guns\nin November cold, his voice a drum,\nhis loyal children dressed in green and gold.\n \nHis words rang rifle shots, dogs cowering\nbehind him, stars rotating as years passed\u2014\nand blood wove itself into their cloth,\nmutated into shapes of horse and hound\nrunning under him on an icy path.\n \nAir froze as they breathed it, icicles\nin the lungs.  They were pierced\nby that which melted and left no trace.<\/pre>\n
