Inhaltsangabe

Equal parts humorous and devastating, Ben Kline's Dead Uncles investigates the lingering impacts that formative family experiences can have years later.

In this stunning collection, Kline presents the funny and the painful side by side to reveal a fully realized family tree.

Through humor and candor, Dead Uncles reveals the glee, challenge, struggle, and joys of an extended family. Simultaneously, Kline writes with subtle perception about the letdowns and shortcomings of family members.

These poems investigate identity, self, and how difficult it can be to extract those from your own geology. What does it mean to change beyond what your family thinks of you? What are the anxieties inherent in showing your family something they might not understand or accept? These are the questions answered in Dead Uncles.

Readers looking for poetry that is as funny as it is devastating will find a new favorite in Ben Kline's astounding collection.

This collection also features a bespoke interview with the writer at then end of the book, delving deeper into the craft, influences, and life behind their work.
