SYNOPSIS<\/strong><\/p>\n

THE RESURRECTION APPEARANCES: FRAGMENTS OF A DAYBOOK is an account of a grief year, told through narrative, lists, dreams, poetry, fantasy, and recollections of childhood. Beginning after the sudden death of the author\u2019s mother, Patty, Resurrection spans the first six months of grief and reaches back to the author\u2019s earliest memories. The book has a wide tonal range, encompassing parenting, queerness, prayer, the spiritual possibilities in work for justice, and the meaning of healing from trauma in a voice reminiscent of Emerson Whitney\u2019s Heaven and Sophia Shalmiyev\u2019s Mother Winter: subtle, sensitive, and restless in its desire for authenticity. Picking through the shambles of grief, RESURRECTION tests the comforts of faith and narrative and attempts to give shape to a life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n\n\n \n \n \n

PRAISE<\/strong><\/p>\n

Through a series of short, lyric entries, Jay Aquinas Thompson records the loss of their beloved Patty, a mother like “a brittle blade-edge,” who worked as a psychiatric nurse, loved film, and sometimes had both “a beautiful singing voice” and a hundred-dollar bottle of rum. THE RESURRECTION APPEARANCES: FRAGMENTS OF A DAYBOOK builds a spiritual tractatus in the voice of a poet who played caregiver to a caregiver. Each entry offers a sense of beginning again\u2014a new way to parse a parent\u2019s death alongside the life she lived and the possible ways to live afterwards. Thompson returns consistently to the question “Where do you find faith?” while gesturing toward the answer in images, meditations, and confessions that offer us “a momentary sense of the universe\u2019s scale.”
