Anaphora - Paperback

by Kevin Goodan (Author)

A uniquely chilling glimpse into the immense grief of losing loved ones to suicide.

Anaphora is a gut-wrenching elegy with psychological intensity, giving way to the dizzying grief of loss. Goodan creates a heightened, frantic and piercing dialogue that grapples with mental illness, stigmas, relationships, and morality in the landscape of rural America.
