from Kyrie
a selection of eight untitled sonnets set during the 1918 influenza pandemic
[Dear Mattie, You're sweet to write me every day]
[When does a childhood end? Mothers]
[This is the double bed where she'd been born]
[All day, one room: me, and the cherubim]
[Thought at first that grief had brought him down]
[How we survived: we locked the doors]
[Dear Mat, For the red scarf I'm much obliged]
[Once the world had had its fill of war]
Kyrie was originally published in 1995 by W.W. Norton & Company.
