The Painted Bunting's Last Molt

The Painted Bunting's Last Molt explores fatherhood, parenting, and separation anxiety; and the ways in which time and memory are both a prison and a giver of joy. Fifteen years in the making, Virgil Suarez's new collection uses his mother's return to Cuba after 50 years of exile as a catalyst to muse on familial relationships, death, and the passing of time.
