| Summary: | 'When he died, my brother became the architect of the rest of my life' writes Alison Thumel in Architect, which interweaves poems, lyric essays and visual art to great emotional effect. In this debut collection, the buildings of Frank Lloyd Wright become a blueprint for elegy, as Thumel overlays the language of architecture with the language of grief to raze and reconstruct memories, metaphors and myths. With obsessive and exacting focus, the poet leads us through room after room in a search to answer whether it is possible to rebuild in the wake of loss. |
