Whiting Award-winning poet Ina Cari�o's sophomore collection, Reverse Requiem, explores mental health and wellness, ancestry and lineage, and the enduring complexities of human connection. In a world marked by the failures of capitalism, Reverse Requiem speaks to the lonely parts within all of us--and to the love that persists within community and ourselves, despite everything.


These soulful and elegiac poems, written in Cari�o's signature saturated lines, follow a speaker shaped by both subtle and profound personal tragedies. The collection's emotional resonance is deepened by its formal inventiveness: poems shift in length, tone, and use of white space, mirroring the fractured, nonlinear journey at the book's heart. The title, Reverse Requiem, suggests a retracing of a life: rather than unfolding chronologically, the poems are guided by the speaker's shifting mental and emotional states. Early pieces carry a stark, dirge-like weight that gradually gives way to glimmers of hope--proposing that healing, though never linear, remains within reach.


Cari�o wrote Reverse Requiem gradually, over the course of a year spent immersed in other creative disciplines, including music and visual art. A mentor once told them, "Even if you stop writing, you're never truly leaving it behind--you're always a writer if you stay open to the world." That openness permeates this collection. Where Feast, Cari�o's debut, turned inward, Reverse Requiem reaches outward. While it remains grounded in introspection, this second book reflects a year of emotional risk and connection--extending itself toward the world and those who inhabit it.
