| Schwarze bupkes, from Hechizo (2022), comes at a point in the collection where I’ve somehow managed to face and reconcile with some of my problems, my demons, including the deaths of people I’ve loved. Their absence, my grief. So this is a kind of joyous moment and memory of my dad who died in March 2018. His spiritual presence and my memories don’t make up for the lack of the physical, but they help a lot. |
