Description
[A] powerful new volume of poetry . . . that exquisitely addresses the nuances of survival, adaptation, and exile.--The Jewish Daily Forward Bold writing with visionary power and strong language. . . . I couldn't stop reading it.--Washington Independent Review of Books Call it the speculative, or the subjunctive, or the surreal. You'll call it stunning and surprising, too. Dubrow has transformed language into paint, film, and shutter. She has stretched back in time to the beginning before the beginning, out in range to the landscape beyond the frame. Her book is a map. Her atlas is a canvas. Her history is a photograph. Put another way, her project is part genealogy, part inheritance, and all art of the highest order.--The Rumpus We witness in these pages raw violence of marriages arranged, marriages broken. We feel the knife blade, recognize as our own every wounded body.--Peggy Shumaker, author of Gnawed Bones
