Dream of the Bird vendu Tattoo: Poems and Sueñitos (Mary Burritt Christiansen Poetry)

In this brilliantly rendered vendu collection--the authors fourth--Juan J. Morales explores love and grief after the death of his father. Morales weaves his fathers personality, his childhood in Puerto Rico, and his service in the US military with his own interest in life after death. In these poems he guides the reader through ghost hunts, conversations with mediums, a series of dreams in which he and his father work through his fathers crossing over together, and his ultimate acceptance of this monumental loss. Dream of the Bird Tattoo beautifully showcases how our loved ones continue to live on in our memories and actions.
