In an effort to understand how people grow from the soil of their family's past-and particularly, how I got to be who I am as a person and poet-Blowdown takes on the work of archaeology. Historical evidence, most newly found during the process of writing the book, uncovers so little of the truth; instead, what I find remains fully fragmented, like pieces of bone unearthed after centuries. These poems attempt to piece those fragments into story, to build narrative in the absence of one.
