Daun Daemon's debut collection, A Prayer for Forgiving My Parents, is both a commemoration and celebration. In recovering the past, Daemon unpacks the complicated and at times terrifying tensions within her family where the grit and gumption of a resourceful, entrepreneurial and tender mother is often undercut by a violent father. In such surroundings, a young person treads carefully and creatively. The poet says about her earliest years, I was an origami child, folding myself into shapes. Yet, she succeeds in the way to love, appreciation, and even absolution. A Prayer for Forgiving My Parents is (to quote the poet's words about the door to her childhood bedroom) a line of light pushing through the dark. A brave first collection.
