Jiordan Castle

All His Breakable Things Jiordan Castle

"There's another version of this story where I drain the past, rouge my cheeks with its blood, make a dead thing live," writes Jiordan Castle. She vividly details a life marked by her father's mental illness and incarceration. Even in the dark of the familial prison experience, Castle charms with a glowing mix of candor, compassion, and humor. This debut poetry chapbook takes us to the brink and delivers us back to ourselves--and to the familiar hope we all carry inside.
