You and Yours Olivia Snaije Mau Baiocco

Mau Baiocco

The way to send death away was to sing with my own death all the death in the sky and on the ground

is told to go door-to-door to remind everyone to attend

And in elegising Lewis's promise we should not overlook his actual achievement…"

You and Yours Olivia Snaije Mau BaioccoSwinging across timelines and from the mundane to the surreal, You and Yours is a study in grief: how it exists beyond seismic losses in the stories we inherit, in shifting friendships, and in uncertain landscapes. These poems celebrate the self as a malleable entity under the influence of all the lives it encounters, and balance the pain that characterises the loss of a profound connection with the wonder of having it in the first place.
