Patterns of loss, of alienation, of the body, of family. Patterns emerge in the notes of the guitar, in the calls of crows, in the fall of petals from a cherry blossom tree, in a gunshot wound, in relationships, and in behaviors. For poet and writer, Seán Griffin, these patterns transform and intersect. Loss and alienation temper experiences with the body and family. The patterns of the speaker and poet diverge from the patterns of society and find acceptance in their unique shape.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis collection of sensuous, confessional poetry immerses the reader in the experiences of the speaker from one minute moment to another, pulling taut the wider tapestry of events. Each of these poems functions like a camera lens pointed toward the situations of discomfort, dysphoria, and distress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSeán Griffin (she\/they) is a PhD student at St. John’s University and received an MFA from Manhattanville College.
