The Lighthouse Keepers

In just the opening section of “The Lighthouse Keepers,” Jen Colclough gives voice to a school counselor, a professor from grad school, a well-known poet, and to the narrator’s own mind. The author draws the reader’s attention through diary entries, metaphor, inner dialogue, fictional and historical references. The myriad approach here is most deliberate, and most effective. In her author’s note, Colclough writes, “When considering ways to demonstrate the organized chaos of neurodivergent thinking, it made sense to apply the freedom I had found in poetry to a longer narrative form.” - CRAFT
