Review # 2 was written on 2015-09-17 00:00:00 Steven Breier Borrowed from the Library Does Your House Have Lions? is a small collection of micro poetry and haiku. The collection is centered on the theme if family and loss. The little snippets are built as minimal as possible. Sonia Sanchez is known for writing in traditional Japanese poetry forms. I don't really have much to say about this collection other than the fact that it's about the self-discovery and loss of an African American family. A father who isn't always present, a son discovering that he's gay and exploring that in the AIDS epidemic, and a sister and mother who are caught in between all of the heaviest conflicts of that time, the racism and the fluctuating changes of a generation. And then there's death and the loss, at the end there's this really poignant scene where the son connects with his ancestors after death. So there's a sort magical realist influence going on here and I honestly wished it was a little longer. Rating: 5/5 Originally posted on Notes on the Shore
