Brand New Spacesuit

In his latest collection of poems, John Gallaher writes with honesty, humor, and tenderness about caring for his aging parents. These poems offer snapshots of Gallaher’s memories of his adoption and childhood, his father’s heart attacks, his mother’s progressing Alzheimer’s disease and stroke, raising his own children, and his reflections on the complex mysteries of the universe within everyday moments. With exquisite attention to detail, Brand New Spacesuit captures the losses, anxieties, and possibilities that come with caring for one another.
