Hockaday is the managing editor of both Asimov’s and Analog SF digests. She’s also their poetry editor and makes all the selections, so it comes as no surprise she also writes poetry. This collection centers on two overlapping major life events, the death of her father and the birth of her daughter.
It is a deeply personal and introspective search for meaning; one of which many aspects will resonant with anyone who has experienced these life milestones. Hockaday’s lyrical phrasing is easy to access and remarkably honest.
