About the book
Deborah Schupack's fourth book, "When We Were Gun," occupies a narrative space between poetry and prose and a psychic space between everyday and end-of-the-world. The twenty narrative poems are told in a "Greek chorus" of parent voices as they wait outside the scene of a school shooting, forging a remarkable chronicle of the ordinary exigency of parenting. Winner of the 2025 Louisville Review National Poetry Prize, “When We Were Gun” is published by Fleur-de-Lis Press.
