“If something is not seen or heard, does it cease to exist?” asks Katelynn Hibbard in her book Unblossoming. In these poems, Hibbard gazes intently at sparrows, dead mice, a stranger’s face, and out of the tiniest details evokes existential questions about desire and death. Yet this probing happens quietly, almost invisibly, while we are absorbed by the gentle exactitude of her language. Here objects whisper and hold our grief. “Like a fistful of God shimmering her ghost on the ceiling” these poems are lit from within by the complexity of grief and the deepest love.”
—Jessica Cuello
