  abstract: With previous work hailed by the New York Times as "unflinching" and "piercing," Ashley M. Jones's Lullaby for the Grieving is her most personal collection to date. In her fourth poetry collection, Jones studies the multifaceted nature of grief: the personal grief of losing her father, and the political grief tied to Black Southern identity. How does one find a path through the deep sorrow of losing a parent? What wonders of Blackness have to be suppressed to make way for "progress?" Journeying through landscapes of Alabama, the Middle Passage and Underground Railroad, interior spaces of loss and love and her father's garden, Jones constructs both an elegy for her father and a celebration of the sacred exuberance and audacity of life. Featuring poems from her tenure as Alabama's first Black and youngest Poet Laureate, Lullaby for the Grieving finds calm in unimaginable storms and attempts to listen for the sounds of healing.
