Description
Rhode Island Notebook is a book-length poem that chronicles a personal journey to happiness in the face of grief. Written over several years, it records the break-up of a family and the separation of a father and daughter, set against the backdrop of rising jingoism in the United States before and during the invasion of Iraq.
Written on the road in Gabriel Gudding's own car, this handwritten account is a unique blend of personal reflection and social commentary. The result is a powerful exploration of loss, identity, and the search for meaning in a rapidly changing world.
