From the moment a dead bunny rabbit appeared on her back porch one Easter morning, Christin Siems Ross would never write the same way again.
Morbid Poetry: A Nostalgic Romp by Christin Siems Ross is a collection that walks a fine line between the absurd and the deeply emotional, blending dark humor with poignant reflections on childhood, family, and life’s bizarre moments. Each poem offers a window into the author’s quirky yet relatable world, where everyday events take on a twisted yet familiar edge. From the trauma of seeing a parent without a mustache to the existential dread of a suicidal Easter Bunny, Ross masterfully captures the oddities of growing up in a world filled with strange traditions and even stranger relationships. At times irreverent, and always thought-provoking, Morbid Poetry taps into a nostalgia that is both humorous and haunting, making it a must-read for anyone who’s ever felt like the odd one out in their family-or who just enjoys a good dark laugh.
