When We

Call it a confession of poems about a son and a father, and collected into it the us that a father and son are. This series is an admission of poetry, and honesty about fathers and sons, how we hold hands and are willingly lost. When We is ultimately about letting go, and that is our irony: that which we hold to the tightest is what we must let loose. When We is the tightness of our hearts, a torture of relinquishing.
