Lev St. Valentine
Lev St. Valentine’s debut book, Pyre House, is a raw, unflinching full-length poetry collection that documents the aftermath of an unimaginable loss. This memoir in verse refuses to showcase grief as neat and digestible-- instead, it is a deeply human exploration of the hidden side of loss. In the wake of his younger brother’s death, Lev St. Valentine combs through the ashes of memories to try to make sense of what is left. Pyre House doesn’t offer answers-- it simply shows us what remains after everything burns away.
