Description
Deep Field is a poignant and deeply personal collection of poems by Philip Gross.
The speaker's father, a wartime refugee, begins to lose his languages as he ages, first to deafness, then profound aphasia. These poems reach into the gulf between them, exploring the recovery of histories both spoken and unspoken, as well as an excavation of the spoken word itself.
Those familiar with Gross's subtlety and range in collections like The Water Table will find those qualities brought to a new human urgency in Deep Field. A compelling and thought-provoking work that explores the complexities of language, memory, and family.
