“i come to you in the mornings as a deer in your garden,
dawn-spotted,
i shiver.
you drink your coffee. you smile at the day. you leave all your abundances to the world. i eat a flower. then another. then, a peach.”
ten fathers looks at how a person, place, or moment might become a father. what are all the fathers we collect through our lives and how might we use them to understand care, pain, violence, and connection?
A 28 page long chapbook, ten fathers includes three original linoprint illustrations from Saltiel.
