Landsickness

Om Landsickness

A lyric essay about young love and loss and the aftermath of a former lover's suicide. Landsickness explores the inelegant progress of grief and pursues a relentless search for evidence of the beloved's presence through the physics of splashes, the history of seasickness, and the science of depression. While full of tenderness, the poems employ humor and honesty to observe the ugliness of grief and the failure of elegy to restore the dead. From the funeral to the office of her dead-end job to navigating the streets of New York, the speaker experiences a series of blunders and false starts as she learns to cope with her new life. Still, there is a real sense of progression in the collection's end, even as the speaker continues to ask herself: "Why am I obsessed with the physics of his fall?"
