It Skips a Generation
by Alison Lubar
Paperback
Moving fluidly between past and present, It Skips a Generation is a poetry collection that traces memory, inheritance, and survival across time. Centered on Alison Lubar’s relationship with their grandfather—who, along with his mother and sister, was imprisoned at the Tule Lake Relocation Center during the Japanese American internment—the book explores how trauma echoes across generations, and how love, identity, and resistance endure.
Lubar’s poems travel from pre-internment history to contemporary life, examining what is passed down, what is lost, and what must be remade. Alongside intergenerational grief and healing, the collection reflects on the lived intersections of multiracial and queer identity, revealing how personal history collides with national history in intimate, often startling ways.
Tender, incisive, and formally inventive, It Skips a Generation confronts silence and erasure while honoring ancestry, care, and survival. These poems ask what it means to belong—and how remembering can itself become an act of love.
