Beschreibung:
Lyrical poems about trying to have it all . . . but not all at the same time.
In this third collection, award-winning poet Adrienne Su reflects deeply about the circumstances in which people are forced to remake themselves: as parents, as immigrants, as people whose marriages have ended, as people who’ve wound up in a place they never intended to settle.From “Breakup”:Another ending finds its placeamong novels, lives, summersthat fled, but this kind has a wayof getting filed under failure:yes, the relationship failed,if to fail is to fail to endure.
