In an extraordinarily powerful mix of poetry and prose, Rosner traces the earliest remembered resonances of her parents' past and her dawning awareness of the war history that colored her family home during her youth in Schenectady, New York. She recounts her false starts in raising the subject with her father (a survivor of Buchenwald concentration camp), his piecemeal revelations, and their eventual travels together to the sites of the nightmare in Germany. And she evokes, courageously and heart-wrenchingly, her search for identity against the gravitational pull of her parents' experience and the traditional upbringing they've given her. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLike Rosner's celebrated novels, \u003ci\u003eGravity\u003c\/i\u003e plumbs the deep complexities of inherited grief, but here the author discloses, with breathtaking candor and sensitivity, \"what it felt like to grow up inside my family.\" Also featuring spellbinding artwork by Lola Fraknoi, these astonishing pages remind us that history happens at home and that the past is something we all embody, knowingly or not.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Counterpoint LLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/03\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781640097865\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs","brand":"Elizabeth Rosner","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52147022594229,"sku":"9781640097865","price":14.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_f683ee60-af9f-4c04-ae8a-d09ced6e9559.jpg?v=1767678518","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/gravity-poems-9781640097865","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
