About this book

Grief takes the form of obituaries in Victoria Chang’s collection of poems. Her father’s stroke, his loss of language and her mother’s death become occasions to consider what else disappears when a family changes. The poems connect memory, care and identity, extending the language of loss to parts of the self and everyday life.

Victoria Chang

Obit is a book of obituaries for things that are not people. Victoria Chang wrote it after her mother died in 2015 and her father lost his speech to a stroke, and she set the poems in the narrow column of a newspaper death notice, one for her mother's blue dress, one for her father's frontal lobe, one for language itself. Copper Canyon issued it in 2020.
