Blood Memory: Prose Poems

Michelle Reale

4.9/5 (32288 ratings)

Description:How I loved spending time in the home Michelle Reale builds in Blood Prose Poems. Here, memory, “like a cleft chin,” is as pervasive as the smell of coffee and oranges, as real as “your mother’s sober apron” and “the wall calendar from the insurance agent.” I know this home, for Reale’s “cartography” is also in my blood. These lyric blocks of poetry are expertly laid, one on top the other, by a master poet, whose writing is “basked in the kind of radiance that came only from what we could say in the only language we knew.” This is a collection that traces generational love and traumamand assures us that “when it collides with ancestry, the truth will always bleed out.” I would find myself, after reading a poem, putting the book down and marveling at Reale’s grafting of sound and imagery, and feeling a deep “heartsick longing for the conveyance . . . . to the familiar and terrible.” ---Jennifer Martelli, author of My Tarantella and The Uncanny ValleyIn Blood Memory, Michelle Reale has written, with fearlessness and grace, a compendium of loss, “a cartography of survival.” It is many things at prose, poetry, archive, exploration. Memoir in crystalline fragments. It is a striking and symphonic song of family and the ties that both bind us and beckon us to search for deeper meaning, to investigate the mysteries of those lineages that come to define us. “There is a lifetime to learn how to live down the expectations,” Reale writes. With each line, a gasp, a want to linger, to dwell inside the language. At times, a chant, the cadence slow, laced with delicate silences, “…like a lamentation into the still air that hangs heavy.” Other times, an exclamation, a fierce and devastating howl, as Reale painstakingly exposes the thin membrane between love and betrayal.---Kristina Moriconi, author of In the Cloakroom of Proper MusingsReale’s prose poems in Blood Memory are powerful, packed with explosively emotional realizations, inviting you into the cavernous interior of her soul. --- Mike Fiorito, Author of Falling from TreesWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
