Review of Aftermath by Katherine Flannery Dering
Aftermath
by Katherine Flannery Dering
Finishing Line Press, 2018
Katherine Flannery Dering’s chapbook Aftermath (Finishing Line Press, 2018) illuminates the grief after the death of her nephew as a young man. She captures his skateboarding free spirit as well as his deadly heroin addiction through her powerful imagery. Her grief becomes a symbol for her struggle to find meaning in the process of aging. This chapbook asks more questions than it answers and leaves the reader with a profound sense of what it is to be a human being with dreams and inevitable losses.
