OverviewDevastating violence is a fracturing occurrence that distinguishes itself from other eventualities in the three distinct and divergent blessings that God/the universe gifts to its victims. The victim can only choose one blessing to embrace because each blessing contradicts and makes the other inviable. One is the blessing of self-annihilation. One is the blessing of vengeance. One is the blessing of art/creation. Delphinium Gospel is a triptych-structured poetry collection that explores the blessing of creation as a manifesting interplay between horrific grief and desperate longing in the aftermath of Denzel Scott's brother, uncle, and cousin's respective murders, exploded in their interconnectedness to the sorrows that plague the United States of America.
