LETTERS TO LITTLE ROCK: POEMS
Letters to Little Rock is a collection of forty-four poems Jennifer Horne wrote following the death of her father in 2018, as a way of continuing their lifelong conversation. The poems, all second-person addresses to her father, use the grieving process as an opening in the psyche, prompting the exploration of a life that began in rural Arkansas during the Great Depression and ended with a career as an attorney in the state capital, Little Rock. Horne uses various poetic forms to explore how one contains and shapes the experience of loss. Throughout, the emphasis is on the connection between father and daughter as revealed through memory, story, and the work of understanding a life.
