Synopsis
Mistie Watkins can't quit talking to herself. Raised in a close-knit and deeply religious family of storytellers in rural Central Florida, she writes to understand herself and the place and people she comes from. Hiraeth is a linked series of prose poetry snapshots that bring to life the big Watkins family, her late sister, and the Florida scrub they call home. In this elegiac and lyric patchwork, memory and family myth compete to find truth and beauty in growing up, life after tragedy, familial bonds, and the shortcomings of religion and love.
