Blackbirds Greg Santos

Poetry. In BLACKBIRDS Greg Santos delves into the raw, private mythologies of parenthood, adoption, ethnicity, and uncertain histories. These lyrical poems bring us from Lisbon's winding ways, to cramped Paris quarters and sacred spaces, to Cambodian street markets--all those rooms, wombs, and ruins that make up a complicated and poignant personal history. Building on the wit and charm of his previous full-length collections, here Santos brings us to a space both dark and dear.
