Acclaimed French poet Marie de Quatrebarbes'' debut in English translation is an elegiac long poem in the form of a fragmentary journal that tracks the loss of a loved one. As if the relic of a long-forgotten history, The Vitals ghosts through five successive months, measuring time through the vacillations of a bereaved consciousness. An estranged voice staggers through glimpses of childhood, domesticity, conversations lost and found, and memories reverberating into language. These elliptical prose vignettes ask questions about family, survival, and of the shared experience of grief and longing. Through a documentary impulse, de Quatrebarbes'' poem persists suspended in the space left by a sudden disappearance.
