In the Wake
Abstract: "In the Wake" is a meditative, nonlinear essay about a son's presence during his father's final days in the comfort care unit of a hospital, reflecting on the nontraditional nature of his grief, the complicated history of his relationship with an ex-lover, and the profound, physical, and historical dimensions of Black mourning.
