Happy book birthday to This I Can Tell You by Brandi Spering!
This I Can Tell You walks in through the front door and looks under the sofa. It measures the length of the wall, taps to find the beams. It removes the hammer and the nails from the toolbox, places them in a line to find the difference. This is a poetic narrative that examines structures within a home. It navigates Spering’s muffled timeline due to the fragility of memory as a result of trauma and the secrecy maintained within a family, like a well-groomed dog.
Brandi Spering resides in South Philadelphia where she writes, sews, and paints. Favoring non-fiction and poetry above else, her writing tends to sway between both, carrying a little over each time. Spering received her BFA in Creative Writing from Pratt Institute. Her work can be found in Forum Magazine, Recenter Press Poetry Journal, Schuylkill Valley Journal, and elsewhere.
