Author: Valentina Saraçini Translators: Erica Weitzman, Flora Ismaili, and Rudina Jason Publisher: Ugly Duckling Presse (2008) Saraçini joins together the grimly political and the intensely personal, moving through a psychological universe full of impossible geographies, fallible gods, absence and fog and longed for escapes.

The poems in this collection both question and dream, imagine and mourn, displace fear with loneliness, loneliness with occasional calm. Show more
