"'Gravity' from Sister Urn addresses how Rexilius navigated the knowledge of her sister’s passing on social media, the kinds of questions received there. In conversation, Rexilius has told me 'Gravity' was the first poem she wrote after her sister’s passing. She writes, 'This is the line of outcome.' Cause and effect, the consequence of action, the poem announces that it will attempt narrative in order to account for the unaccountable." |
