A book of elegy told in ghazals, \"Marble Runs,\" and other forms, these poems reckon with loss: of climate, of fathers, of youth. Candrilli writes, \"We are so young \/ to know so much about life without \/ our friends.\" Steeped in the grief of these losses, \u003ci\u003eWinter of Worship\u003c\/i\u003e finds healing in the smallest memories: Nokia phone cases, jalapeño gardens, pop flys, 67 Dodge darts, YouTube mixes \"all electronica and \/ glitch step.\" We also find survival in our tender human connections: an iPod tucked into the jacket pocket of a drifter, a kiss pressed to a partner's forehead, a mother calling her child by their chosen name. From the cornfields of Pennsylvania to the streets of downtown Brooklyn, these poems refuse to forget, refuse to lose \"an ounce of gentleness.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKayleb Rae Candrilli (they\/them) is the author of \u003ci\u003eWinter of Worship\u003c\/i\u003e (Copper Canyon Press, 2024), \u003ci\u003eWater I Won't Touch\u003c\/i\u003e (Copper Canyon, 2021), \u003ci\u003eAll the Gay Saints\u003c\/i\u003e (Saturnalia 2020), which won the Saturnalia Book Prize, and \u003ci\u003eWhat Runs Over\u003c\/i\u003e (YesYes Books, 2017), which was a Lambda Literary finalist for Transgender Poetry.
