Every Day, They Became Part of Him - Paperback

by Clark A. Pomerleau (Author)

Every Day, They Became Part of Him explores the ties among family, history, queer kinship, northwest ecology, and a living universe. In these poems the main character leaves home with purpose and intentionally returns to help with elder care. Relationships braid together human joys and grief with mortality that reflects something bigger than us. Our protagonist's experience helps him navigate in a space where time no longer seems to move forward. How do queer development, desire, and resilience open us to possibilities? What do trans perspectives reveal about natural, spiritual, and cultural dimensions? Can these perceptions support relating to a loved one with dementia?
