Relict, by Brian Mosher

Relict is the result of the author’s struggle to determine what the death of his father means to him. Does a person become something different on the day they no longer have any living parents? A child becomes an adolescent, becomes an adult. A single person becomes part of a couple, becomes a parent, becomes again single either as a widow or through divorce. But we have no word for the stage of life that begins once both a person’s parents have died. This book is an attempt to document the feelings of grief, and to reconnect to a lost past through stories about ancestors, all without losing sight of a hopeful future. 

Available now, from Finishing Line Press.

Brian Mosher, in his new collection of poems RELICT, searches for what remains after the loss of loved ones. What remains are photographs: four brothers,/youngest to oldest, left to right:/my father and uncles, /who all share my face./  Also wisdom, inherent knowledge,/as a river knows where to flow,/as the oak tree understands/the value of its shadow./ Then, empathy…this the only time I ever saw him cry./Such was the measure of this man, /the loss which hurt him most was not his own./ And of course, hope to mingle with/the scars, to soothe the aches, to warm /the joints, 

Finally, what remains is this wonderful collection of poems.
