To the Man in the Red Suit: Poems: 1 (Rootstock Poetry)

Dark humorous abrasive bereft and whimsical: these are poems of the grief process within a dysfunctional and fractured family and world. In her debut full-length collection Fulton writes about her fathers suicide and its aftermath; about strained familial relationships and dealing with regret and grief. She acknowledges mental health concerns internal and global suffering and the hope that can only be obtained through turning trauma into art. This is a masterful collection of poetry that brings light back into the cracks left by depression and loss.
