Karaoke Funeral

The poems in Karaoke Funeral searingly explore the most familiar issues of human relationships–love, desire, loss, moving on. They cover no new ground, yet this is their strength; they uncover the ground that buries what we don’t want to see in ourselves, in those we love, and in those we once loved. Tania Rochelle, in her deft and powerful voice, writes with forensic specificity about affairs of the heart and of the family, and she also writes with great honesty, humility, and a sense of humanity rare in American poetry today, and we are richer for them. –Marty L.
