Lucky to Have You is a collection of narrative lyric poems that meditate on romantic loss and love. Loss and luck are synonymous; luck always appears amid heartbreak, and in moments of unexpected luck, aged sorrow rears its wrinkled forehead. The collection comprises three sections: "Lucky to Find You," "Lucky to Keep You," and "Lucky to Lose You." These imitation love poems travel up and down the East Coast- from Virginia to New York- and shadow all kinds of marriages that died under the weight of addiction and infidelity, or power dynamics across religious assaults, or the possibility of first dates, or the stalled gift of situationships, or deep, authentic interracial love swamped in an America that refuses to face its own history. Turning community rejection on its head, questioning her own privileges, this narrator arrives somewhat intact, having survived early intimate violence. Residue is revelation. Yet, she remains hopeful, grounded in the triad of luck, love, and loss, ready to get back up again.
