Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Back Cover
"We are on a train that seems to multiply itself, ghostlike, as it goes; we can hear the smooth hiss and strange hitches of the cars; this is one way to tell a story, from inside a multiplying train. In it, the poem, is what history makes off with — bodies, stories, life, emotions contained within human bodies — but also what intimacies and traces of those things are carried through and beyond history, in drawings, in lines, in words. I would say these are love poems, to the body, to a painter of bodies, to cities and history and birds. Love makes a hole in the body, and silences and words rush in."
~ Eleni Sikelianos
