미니애폴리스 2024년 11월 인기 이벤트

Please join us as we welcome debut author OKWUDILINEBEOLISA to Milkweed Books to read from his collection Terminal Maladies. He will be joined in conversation by poet DONIKAKELLY. ABOUTTHEBOOK Okwudili Nebeolisa’s debut poetry collection, Terminal Maladies, serves as an intimate exploration of the relationship between a mother and son and their emotional journey during her battle with cancer. Throughout the book, Nebeolisa attempts to reconcile his guilt of starting a new life in the United States, far away from his mother and his home in Nigeria. Depicting tender moments, Terminal Maladies highlights how the poet and his family shoulder the responsibility of caregiving together and how Nebeolisa works to bridge the physical, and at times, emotional, distance between them. He wonders: “I don’t understand / her smile or why she would be submerged / in pain and wouldn’t want to admit it. / Who did this to our mothers?” The book questions his Nigerian mother’s need to act brave and a son’s need to protect. Terminal Maladies reminds us that grief is inevitable, yet unique to each of us, and serves as a tribute to Nebeolisa’s mother and is a necessary read for anyone who has faced the challenges of caring for a loved one.
