- Summary:
- "Splashed Things is a raw, dark humored, and deeply moving collection that examines the chaotic terrain of grief following the suicide of an ex-boyfriend. With startling honesty and emotional precision, Lucas navigates the speaker's journey through loss as a woman in her 20s, revealing how grief infiltrates every corner of her life--from the funeral home to a dead-end job, from the therapist's office to the subways of New York City. These lyrical poems search for traces of the lost in unlikely places--the physics of splashes, the history of seasickness, the science of depression--while confronting the limitations of elegy and the futility of trying to contain sorrow in words"-- Provided by publisher.
