In this moving series of poems, which reads like a novel, Jonathan Gillman depicts his father’s drift into dementia, the strong feelings his father evoked in his family, the author’s often turbulent relationship with him, and their gradual acceptance of each other.

My Father, Humming is a book that will resonate with everyone. It speaks of the things that are so deep in us we don’t have words for them.
