Coming to Terms with a Child is Henry Beissel’s autobiographical exploration into his childhood growing up in Nazi Germany. The poems speak of confusion, anger, fear, and often the shame of witnessing atrocities with no way to prevent them from occurring. Beissel avoids the often heavy-handed approach to such enormous issues, and writes with striking specificity, personal connection, and subtlety.
