About the book
Unhistorical blends elements of historical narrative, confessional poetry, and detective fiction to narrate the story of a modern romantic relationship that commences in Scotland and unravels in America. The narrator is thrust into the role of a mere observer to her partner's brilliance. Reflecting on the elegiac tradition, many of the poems depict a persona who acts as both a visitor and chronicler of an unfamiliar landscape. The section titled "The Resurrectionists" delves into an alternate retelling of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's iconic duo, Holmes and Watson, as they embark on a mission to unravel a mystery in Scotland while grappling with their own troubled friendship.
