Winter of Worship by Kayleb Rae Candrilli

While winter might be in the title of Kayleb Rae Candrilli’s latest poetry collection, this series of poems evokes for me, rather, the long days at the end of summer. The poems in Winter of Worship move from climate change, to loss, to rural living, to queer identity seamlessly, musing on memory, and what it means to remember and be remembered. Candrilli’s poems are filled with well-loved detritus, every memory and item brimming with meaning and potential.
