Many Miles

Many Miles is a meditation on grief, a love letter to a lost brother. Using automotive technology as an interpretive lens, Rosa Sophia Godshall reflects on childhood dysfunction and her own spiritual identity in search of a way forward. Threaded throughout this elegiac collection, unspoken but never far from her mind, is the question most often asked in the aftermath of suicide: Could I have saved him? The heartbreaking answer comes in a conversation with the medical examiner: "I never knew he wanted to die."
