Grand Tour: Poems by Elisa Gonzalez
4.0
In "Grand Tour," Elisa Gonzalez creates poem of exquisite beauty and tenderness. Gonzalez explores the self, memory, and dealing with trauma within the book. There's extreme sadness and pain throughout these poems, and Gonzalez connects these things with the quest for safety and home. The poem's narrator searches for a place she can feel comfortable and free after an abusive family life.
I tend to read very quickly through books of poetry, but this collection had me pausing. There are many lines that beg to be underlined, reread, and shared. The words have movement my highlighter begs to capture.
