Late Father and Other Poems (in English)
Taylor Mali
Synopsis "Late Father and Other Poems (in English)"
Parenthood and partnership dwell in Taylor Mali's poems in addition to a "tender gloom" that comes from having lost a father years before finally becoming one, a late father. Mali's signature playful eloquence and poignant observations are still at work here, but in these poems, Mali tells us, "all the smallest parts of me . . . can let down their tiny burdens all at once" ("My Sister Asks if She Can See More Grey"), and a wiser, more magnanimous voice emerges, a father's voice, gently offering up a new invocation: O, lightning, if you're listening, disregardmy former invocations. And rain, please blessmy simple little poems; they're plenty hardto write, and the world needs them no less.Let my family if not my other works outlive me.And to those who have survived the storm, forgive me. (from "Sonnet on My Former Invocations")
