Synopsis

Reposed is a book of poetry concerned with keeping the memory and history of a family alive when the photographic record of it has been lost. Coming of age in the Boomer years of the 1950s and 60s, the author, our tomboy narrator, introduces us to her military family with southern roots. It includes a drunken aunt, a cookie salesmen, a malicious nun, a mother who hates her teeth, and a cousin booked and fingerprinted for keeping a pig within city limits. Their lives aren't just humorous however. Alcoholism snakes through this family, affecting and damaging each generation. Not everyone survives it. Many stories were undoubtedly lost along with the family photos that were sold at an estate sale by the author's father. Fortunately, in these pages, a few are rescued and find new life.
