Synopsis

Honorable Mention, 2020 Brockman-Campbell Book Award

"…does only one thing – but does it in a variety of forms, and it does it extremely well…domestic moments are rendered heavy with meaning by the intense focus of the poetry." -Neon Books

"Poignant, sharply expressive…we hear the voice of the lover, the carpenter, the gardener, the farmer…voices of life." -Compulsive Reader

Garum was a pungent fish sauce made in Roman times from the leftover parts of many different kinds of fish. Most recipes for garum called for the use of the entrails, but an ingredient of almost equal importance was any kind of juice, especially the blood, that came from the fish. The fermentation qualities of entrails and blood combined to make the most pungent garum.

These poems embody the pungent quality of garum in three sections: a series of lyrics that investigate domestic life; a long narrative poem, Canal; and a sequence of short poems, mostly haiku and tanka, that chronicles a year of a domestic life.
