One Small Sun takes readers
from a fur shop in Oregon to a Hyderabadi shrine in India?s
subcontinent. Its pages contain a meditation on post-mortem photographs,
an ode to the female earwig, an elegy for a grandmother?s panache.
Tapping deeply into memory, relying on poetry?s ability to bring alive
again what is coded into the blood, these poems ultimately form an arc
of an aging woman?s life. This collection tells the tales of what she
has always realized, is ever learning, but?only through poetry?s
vehicle?can truly know.
