Description:
In his second book of poems, Arvin Abejo Mangohig takes on both the complexities of the lyric sequence and his relationship with his paternal grandmother. Mangohig confidently displays his gifts of in-your-face narrative and evocative lyricism. Bloodflow: A Lyric Sequence mines the darkness of a daily life and the terrors inside our every houses. With the breadth of a novel, the power of the short story, and the immediacy of poetry, Bloodflow is an explosive exploration of family life—irrelevant, tender, the concentric circles of its inwoven themes echoing far beyond its terrifying (chrono)logical conclusion.
