Small Gods of Grief

Signed copies available in limited supply

In Small Gods of Grief, Laure-Anne Bosselaar explores her childhood in post-war Belgium and her later struggles with grief, identity, and love in contemporary America. Ms. Bosselaar mixes imaginative lyrics, narratives and dramatic monologues in this empathetic account of what it means to be human. "I love Laure-Anne Bosselaar's poems because they remind me of why I love poetry: because it can make me feel so alive it doesn't matter that death is all around. Small Gods of Grief does that. It affirms, it affirms." —Thomas Lux
