In Math for Couples, we re-visit the past to discover our place in the contemporary world. A long-dead father watches his daughter work on her Mac, a woman converses with a photo of her young self. Poet Adele Graf leads us on a journey that is rich and hopeful, evoking powerful nostalgia even if we've never been to the places described. When a 'rusted sign swings, ' we hear it squeak. Playful and Intimate, these poems release us back to our current lives, where we feel restored to savour the warmth in a 'glad red hat' and the love that arrives 'still summer lush'.
