✦ Synopsis


In her new collection, Fiona Sze-Lorrain offers a nuanced yet dynamic vision of humanity marked by perils, surprises, and the transcendence of a "ruined elegance." Through an intercultural journey that traces lives, encounters, exiles, and memories from France, America, and Asia, the poet explores a rich array of historical and literary allusions to European masters, Asian sources, and American influences. With candor and humor, each lyrical foray is sensitive to silence and experience: "I want to honor / the invisible. I'll use the fog to see white peaches.";Cover; Title; Copyright; Contents; I WRONG EPIC; Given Silence; Towering; I Wait for the Ruined Elegance; Back from the Aegean Sea; In the Thick of It; Ionian Supper; Partita, but Nothing to Do with Bach; Few Days before Christmas; II IN A GODLESS TIME; Beginning; Spring Massacre; Mausoleum; Backstage; Day Seven; Center of a Journey; Am I What the Lake Gave Me; Meditation; Dusty Citadel; III THE BOOK, A SIMPLER GRAVE; To Whom It May Concern; Granted Asylum; Against Prologue; To Survive When It Must; Midnight Almanac; Yield, Please; Anna Akhmatova, or the Thoughts She Didn't Write.
