What does a 19th-century Russian novel have to do with today? What does it mean to be Russian? What does it mean to be human? In Your Brothers Keeper, a young poet finds an unlikely kindred spirit in Fyodor Dostoevsky. The collection of poems in this chapbook are part love letter, part wrestling match with one of the greatest novels of all time, The Brothers Karamazov. From the sterile halls of a children's hospice to the snowy streets of St. Petersburg, these poems grapple with faith, doubt, and the messiness of being human. You'll find Queer retellings of Dostoevsky's characters, decolonial perspectives on Russian literature, and quiet moments of grace amidst suffering. Your Brothers Keeper is a conversation across time and culture, a humble tribute to the enduring power of literature to connect us all. Whether you're a devoted Dostoevsky fan or new to his work, these poems invite you to see the world through compassionate eyes, grappling with life's big questions just as the greatest Russian author did.
