The Eating Knife is an exploration of personal and intergenerational trauma through the lens of the Akedah, the story of the sacrifice of Isaac. Like Abraham, the speaker's father heard voices and directives that led to an impossible bind. The poems in this collection deconstruct and reconstitute the story of Isaac and Abraham, textually and metaphorically, as a means of stitching together meaning after violence and loss. Beyond the unspeakable, these poems hold the possibility of a new way of relating to God, sacrifice, and redemption.
