Summary:

"This debut poetry collection embodies a voice navigating adulthood through deep loss and abiding love. Gatherer brings together questions of family, belonging, and a faith that eludes without entirely fading. In every setting--amidst prolonged grief, a complicated American identity, and an ever-shifting sense of home--Todd Osborne quietly lets us into a world in which "each day we survive feels like a miracle"--and we are left more attuned to its ordinary wonder"-- Provided by publisher.
