Elegiac by Charles Seluzicki is the first volume in the Cox Family Poetry Chapbook Series from Carnegie Mellon University Press. It is a collection of eleven elegies that memorialize the lives of the poet’s dearly departed friends. Classical in style, Seluzicki’s poems seek to engage in conversation with them in an intimate and convincing sequence.
