Official synopsis Publisher
“SOMETHING KINDRED is a testament to the living, not the dying. To the lifting, the carrying, the unpacking, and the storing. This collection’s pages are heavy, as is their burden. The kind of memories and experiences Nicole Tallman’s grappling with here have mass and density. Real weight. But there is also hope and glory and deep breaths in these pages that give us the gift of clarity Tallman has earned.”
– JACK B. BEDELL, Poet Laureate, State of Louisiana, 2017-2019, Author of Color All Maps New
“Through the spare beauty of haiku and fineness of belles-lettres, Nicole Tallman pens an evocative and stirring account of grieving that echoes with ache in our hearts, but also soothes us with the understanding that love is immortal despite our losses.”
– RICHARD BLANCO, 2013 Presidential Inaugural Poet
