Overview
"Trademark Sunshine' is a collection of poems by Kate Kobosko that explores the link between place, history, and memory. The poems are set in wildly different locations from Costa Rica to New England (and numerous places in between). The poet explores geography, literal and metaphorical, and what it means to be a visitor in a place. These poems answer questions about what it means to be 'from' a certain place: both a tangible location that can be pointed to on a map, as well as the experience of being born into a particular family. The poet explores heritage and identity through the lens of generations past and future. Transgenerational memory places a large role in this collection---to what degree are we shaped by the circumstances our lineages have lived through? What does it mean to inherit a planet in crisis?" -- Abstract
