Paperback. Condition: Very Good. "Where do you end and I begin?" is the question which haunts Shaheen Dil's remarkable memoir-in-poems. Addressed to Choiti, her younger self, Dil's poems shepherd us from Old Dhaka-a childhood stitched from blue silk garara, mango trees, rikshaws, and the love of her Ammu and Abbu-to Chicago and then Ann Arbor, where "a new world thrust[s]" her into days of forgotten Bengali, the joy of Twinkies, and stone quarries. In the way of Whitman, Dil discovers that she "contain[s] multitudes" as America beckons again-Bloomington, Columbia, Poughkeepsie, Boston, an ever-revolving door of places, experiences, and selves made new. Dil's journey is at once powerful and circular, transformative and tender. These wonderful poems leave me breathless, ecstatic, eager to seek out the selves which made me. They leave me yearning to ask the Choiti still lingering in all of us: "Where might I end and you begin again?" Sara Henning is the award-winning author of the poetry collections Burn (Southern Illinois University Press, 2024), Terra Incognita (Ohio University Press, 2022), and View from True North (Southern Illinois University Press, 2018). She teaches at Marshall University, where she coordinates the A.E. Stringer Visiting Writers Series. In her third collection of poems since 2016, Dil weaves a dialogic narrative with herself that reaches across the distances of time and place to create a tapestry of pleasurable and painful memories. Ultimately, Dil's collection of recollection returns otherwise private moments from her past to a future in poeisis, where much like the universal experience of the "uncanny," the poet brings to light what by its nature is mysterious and secret. The Bulgarian poet Lyubomir Nikolov is the author of numerous books, translated into seven languages. He received the National Southern Spring Award in 1982 and the Third Annual Settlement House American Poetry Prize in 2016. His latest book is The Wine's Angel (Fakel Press 2018).…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Shaheen Dil's poems blossom with lush descriptions, from Kennywood, an amusement park in Pittsburgh, to Karimpur, a village in Bangladesh.

This wide-ranging collection is not afraid to take on larger philosophical issues with honesty, humility and grace, asking questions for which there are no easy answers, like the best poems do. Jim Daniels' recent poetry books includeThe Human Engine at Dawn, Wolfson Press, and Gun/Shy, Wayne State University Press.…
