grace (ge) gilbert's Holly merges poetry, memoir, and visual art in an effort to recreate the author's grandmother, who was murdered in her home in 1976, and to make sense of their ensuing relationship with their father, who found his mother's body when he was eleven years old. Having never been told explicitly by their parents about her murder, gilbert pieces together her grandmother's story through fragment, ephemera, history, and the imaginary, looking past the spectacle of the murdered woman and into the things that come, like ripples, after.
