Mendicant Bookworks presents "When We" a series of three interlocked poetic-chains about a father and son, how they break and recombine, how their relationship is imagined and re-imagined, and how they are one—no matter when. More fine experimental short fiction from J.A. Tyler. Call it a confession of poems about a son and a father, and collected into it the us that a father and son are. This series is an admission of poetry, and honesty about fathers and sons, how we hold hands and are willingly lost. When We is ultimately about letting go, and that is our irony: that which we hold to the tightest is what we must let loose. When We is the tightness of our hearts, a torture of relinquishing.
