Lullaby for the Grieving is Hub City’s third poetry collection from PEN/Voelker-longlisted poet Ashley M. Jones.
Lullaby for the Grieving finds the poet in the throes of profound grief in personal and political ways, but also in the throes of finding profound joy. In poems in traditional and received forms, Lullaby for the Grieving finds calm in unimaginable storms, and it attempts to listen for the sounds of healing therein.
