The poems in Family Resemblances unfold in a series of overlapping narratives in which characters struggle with injury and healing, violence and fear, courage and forgiveness. Throughout this beautiful volume, the multiple meanings of family-whether formed by biology or choice-are questioned through careful attention to the often conflicting notions of connection, inheritance, absence, and escape. The truths these poems find are much like life itself: complex, provisional, and rich.

Carrie Shipers is also the author of Ordinary Mourning and Cause for Concern. Her poems have appeared in a variety of literary journals.

As the narrator sets out 'To see myself the size I really am, ' we accompany her on this quest back and forth through time and the lives of her family as she uses all instruments available to learn what she must know. --Carole Simmons Oles, author of A Selected History of Her Heart: Poems
