In Recharting the Way Back, Stacey Walker maps the territory of grief through intimate coordinates: a grandfather clock keeping vigil, pressed flowers between dictionary pages, a father's cologne bottled in amber, a childhood home seven doors away. Written in the year following the deaths of both parents-nineteen days in January, six days in November-these poems explore how we navigate loss when our primary cartographers are gone. Through pandemic card games, nursing home art, and daily detours around memory, Walker charts how ordinary objects become sacred artifacts as we find our way through the after.
Info autore
Stacey Walker teaches writing at various colleges and universities throughout the St. Louis area. She lives seven houses down from her childhood home, where she navigates life with her husband Kent and son Adam. This is her first collection of poetry, written in the year following the loss of both parents. Her work explores grief, memory, and the ways we map our way through loss. The poems in this collection were composed between classroom desks and her kitchen table, between memory and continuing, between what was and what remains.
