GUIVI
Winner of the 2025 Harvard Review Chapbook Prize
“A reserved, secretive mother dies and leaves a cache of love letters from a man who was not her husband— a burdensome inheritance that, in the hands of Susan Fox Rogers, a master essayist who also happens to have a few secrets of her own, becomes a spellbinding study in humankind’s complexity. I savored every page, and yet somehow I was still unprepared for the cumulative power those pages would yield.
Guivi staggered me. And for that I was grateful.”
-JERALD WALKER, author of Street Shadows and Magically Black and Other Essays
