Ongoing themes include the darker aspects of life and how the world continues to move on, even after tragedy. The chapbook itself is a circus, describing characters that might belong in the freakshow, such as a man made of radiation, a man who spontaneously combusts, and a one-woman Wonder Show. The content of the poems is family-centric, revolving around tragedies within specific members of the family. ![]() ![]() This chapbook is based on memory and forgetting, connecting it to the cover image and the “elephant never forgets” saying. ![]()
