An erudite, gripping manifesto of grief. Written for her son, Oluchi McDonald (1982-2003), Oliver's poems incorporate prose, theory, and lyric performance into a powerful testimony of loss and longing. In their journey through the borderlands of sorrow, they grapple with violence, find expression in chants, and, like the graffiti she analyzes, become a place of public and artistic memorial. If memory is the act of bearing witness, she writes, then the dream is a friend driving us somewhere.
