"An introspective lyric on how the opiate crisis alters families and futures. In her debut collection, Reliquary, Abigail Wender addresses losing a brother to prison and, ultimately, opiate addiction. The text also considers womanhood, motherhood, and marriage in lyric poems that confront the complicated nature of grief, the effects of illness on family, and how love-even bliss-figure into grief's equation.
