Pelican's Daughter

Reading Pelican's Daughter felt like stepping into the very "cathedral with wings" Stockton yearningly summons. This book is an intimate, attentive, and coasting exploration (like the central pelican totem itself) of loss in many iterations-of parents, of selves, of obligation and posturing. In Stockton's deft and wondering hands, these poems have hollow-bones: the space for breath and questions to sing through, the structure capable and necessary to allow grief a graceful flight.
