A Slow Indwelling is a lyrically charged epistolary exchange that explores the themes of parenthood, grief, nature, and violence. In this collection, two poets refuse to flinch, engaging in conversation with the ghosts that haunt them. The book invites the reader into the kind of space created when honesty takes precedence over artifice and where vulnerability is offered without hesitation. These poems are entombed with lilacs and bullet casings, explain the poets. Sometimes we lose what's most important to us and fill it in with phantoms.
