Poetry of witness and inheritance

In *Wave of Blood*, Ariana Reines brings together several modes of writing: essay, notebook, family chronicle, and poetry of witness. The description frames the work as an inquiry into the mind of war and into feelings held within the self, including despair and the search for a place to contain grief. Its fragmentary images of the sea sit alongside that personal and familial reckoning, giving the book’s stated concerns a physical landscape without reducing them to a single narrative.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • For readers interested in poetry that engages with war and self-examination.
  • For readers drawn to poetry, essay, notebook, and family-chronicle forms.
  • For readers seeking work centered on witness, grief, and family.

Book overview

Wrestling with the mind of war, at times shocking in its self-analysis, WAVE OF BLOOD is a furious, strange and sincere essay, an eclipse notebook, a family chronicle, all told in the poetry of witness.

I don't understand the intensity
I've hidden here but I know I despaired
Of finding a physical place to keep
My tears. Now what. Seas that go turquoise
When you stop looking at them . . .
