Product Information
Finalist for the 2023 Minnesota Book Award A sublimely elegant, fractured reckoning with the legacy and inheritance of suicide in one American family. In 2009, Juliet Patterson was recovering from a serious car accident when she learned her father had died by suicide. His death was part of a disturbing pattern in her family. Her father's father had taken his own life; so had her mother's. Over the weeks and months that followed, grieving and in physical pain, Patterson kept returning to one question: Why? Why had her family lost so many men, so many fathers, and what lay beneath the silence that had taken hold? In three graceful movements, Patterson explores these questions. In the winter of her father's death, she struggles to make sense of the loss--sifting through the few belongings he left behind, looking to signs and symbols for meaning. As the spring thaw comes, she and her mother depart Minnesota for her father's burial in her parents' hometown of Pittsburg, Kansas. A once-prosperous town of promise and of violence, against people and the land, Pittsburg is now literally undermined by abandoned claims and sinkholes. There, Patterson carefully gathers evidence and radically imagines the final days of the grandfathers--one a fiery pro-labor politician, the other a melancholy businessman--she never knew. And finally, she returns to her father: to the haunting subjects of goodbyes, of loss, and of how to break the cycle. A stunning elegy that vividly enacts Emily Dickinson's dictum to "tell it slant," Sinkhole richly layers personal, familial, political, and environmental histories to provide not answers but essential, heartbreaking truth.

Reviews
" Sinkhole is a literary triumph.Juliet Patterson brings us to a brave, smart, and compassionate understandingof suicide. Anyone who has lost someone to suicide knows the haunting thatfollows. You are buried beneath an avalanche of questions that can never beanswered. But in Patterson''s adept hands, we not only enter ''thenatural history of suicide,'' offering insights to an erosional state of mind,we are taken into societal patterns that foster an atmosphere where suicidebecomes the end point of isolation and despair. The somber connectionsPatterson makes between her father''s death by suicide and the family legacythat precedes his death, tied to a history of coal mining, exposes the factthat our health and the health of the planet cannot be separated. Theviolence we inflict on ourselves is a mirror of the violence we inflict onland. Juliet Patterson is a soaring writer who has chosen to not lookaway. We are the beneficiaries of her gaze. There is poetry in thiselegiac book, with an uncommon beauty and stillness radiating between eachsentence. Sinkhole resurrects our dead from thesorrow and silences surrounding suicide and gives voice to the whys oftheir voiceless acts." --Terry Tempest Williams, author of Erosion "In confronting her family''s dark legacy ofsuicide, Juliet Patterson does far more than plumb the depths of humandespair. Sinkhole is a master class in the way truth can pryopen the deepest cellar, how language can calm a raw, ragged soul. To read thisunflinching look at darkness is to find a way toward the light. After so muchdarkness, so much light!" --Margaret Renkl, author of Late Migrations Praise for JulietPatterson "Juliet Patterson''s poems are entirelythemselves; they use time and the eye and tongue--all the body, as thought andinsight, inside and outside history." --Jean Valentine "Patterson''s work is rich with compression,power, and a precision I''d like to steal for myself." --Joni Tevis, Orion "Spare, pastoral, intimate, and probing, [Patterson''s]musically exacting poems offer arresting insights. . . . They question, invent,refer, divert, take flying risks. They are fluid, considered, dignified. Theycelebrate the human eye, mind, and tongue." --Olga Broumas "Thrilling . . . [Patterson''s] poetic realmhas been that of the precise image . . . placed in short and striking lines.Through these images, she has revealed the path of the mind, often playfully."-- DIAGRAM "[Patterson''s] poems are driven by a voicethat I think would define the world clearly and unequivocally if it werepossible. Instead, the poet is forced (like most of us) to offer up images, thecorrespondences that connect them, and the humanity behind what life leaves forus. . . . Creating a world where there are no easy answers, Patterson asksfor active reading." -- Painted Bride Quarterly "In Patterson''s vision, nature rarely giveswithout taking some small token in return. . . . She laments the loomingdestruction of nature even as that destruction portends the creation ofsomething new." -- Publishers Weekly "Direct and tough, lush and erect . . .[Patterson] will bring you tears, bend your branch, twist your mind."-- TwinCities Daily Planet "There is a kind of communion . . . betweenwhat is said and what is not said, that reminds the reader of walking throughthe very December fields that Patterson describes, noting the dry, brittlelandscape and yet--and also--the spry and determined life that persists withinit. . . . [Patterson''s] quiet poems . . . are more like finely chiseled icesculptures than gleaming, luxurious gems. But the truth they express is no lessradiant--in fact, it may be even more so, borne as it is out of a season of lessrather than plenty." --Shannon Gibney "Patterson''s ear is at once impeccable andexciting. . . . We understand the poet''s vision and language as a form ofquerying, a kind of existential question conditioned by existence''s constantopposite, nonexistence." --Ryo Yamaguchi, " Sinkhole is a literary triumph.
