Om Inheriting Weight
In this second collection of poems paying homage to his mother, David Kates confronts the paradox of his inheritance. Inheriting Weight deepens and widens the exploration of life and love, this time tracing concentric circles around the spirit of loss. ... A brilliant collection of work.

Inheriting Weight continues the true story of David A. Kates, who, after losing his beloved mother to cancer, picks up life''s pieces and starts fresh. David is inspired by all that he has inherited--physical, emotional, and spiritual gifts. The poems are distinctly influenced by images of nature, multi-genre music, global travel, and relationships with friends and family. It is a memoir of fervent renewal after tremendous loss.
