Bunker
Gary Goldstein
2023
Bunker was a sketch book that I began working on during the closures of Covid-19. It was a first book that I’ve made in close to 20 years, and reflected memories of the horror in my father’s expressions when I was growing up. He rarely spoke, but any interaction awakened and evoked expressions of terror which were so frightening to me. And still are so frightening to me. The book contains my of my prose poems dealing with memories of growing up with my parents. The pain then and the pain now.
