Summary:

"This collection is about the sudden eviscerating loss of a child, the hope that precedes this crisis, and the suffering that follows. Spare, plain, sometimes startling in their snatches of humor, Pollari's poems careen into the "tilted reality" of grief. This is poetry dredged from shock and rage, then dissected with pointillistic precision. A shattering experience rendered with candor and immediacy, Path of Totality is a book "for anyone who ever expected anything.""-- Provided by publisher.
