Families who disapprove of a choice of spouse. War refugees debating what to take with them. A boy navigating his parents’ divorce. A lost friendship. A child born with a physical impairment. A romance going awry. The physical pians that often accompany emotional ones. The special dinner that grows cold. Trying to help a friend with dementia. A father suffering a brain tumor.
This is the world of Destinations: Poems, the ninth poetry collection by Michael Favala Goldman. It’s a world of brokenness and people managing through it, sometimes well and sometimes not.
