Messages arrive from a mysterious soul in Limbo; portraits and artifacts provide windows into lost worlds; and a long-buried family secret is brought to light from the archives of a state mental hospital. Throughout these formally inventive and richly envisioned poems, the poet connects the past to the present, showing how the dead cross paths with the living. Constructing epistles, elegies, and personal narratives, and making use of found and researched materials, Letters from Limbo draws on poetry's capacity to discover, document, and imagine many worlds of experience.
