An innovative collection of archival poetry, House of Grace, House of Blood weaves images and documents from the 1782 massacre of pacifist Delawares in Gnadenhutten, Ohio into poems that explore contradictions: settler colonists and Indigenous people; violence and reconciliation; body and spirit; history and silence. Ultimately, these poems not only reconstruct an important historical event, but they also put pressure on the archive, asking us to question not only what is remembered, but how history is remembered--and who is forgotten from it.
