In a thread I didn’t know I was hanging by, Peter G. Quinn travels back in time and memory, revisiting the seafaring legacy of his father and grandfather and unearthing painful memories along the way. Quinn’s compelling, unflinching narrative poems are leavened with grace as he shines a light on these memories and, in later poems, celebrates the healing power of love and what it means to be a son, father, husband, and friend. Quinn explores poignant and cathartic events that seize the mind and test the truth while admitting frailty and courage, often at the same time.
“Here is an extraordinary collection of poems that, like an emotional wildfire, sends sparks across our past—present and future—igniting long forgotten desires and dreams. . . . a thread I didn’t know I was hanging by is a haunting—deeply human—beautifully conceived road map through and out of suffering into self-awareness—even joy—that will be as relevant 1,000 years from now as it is today.” —Gary Lemons
