These poems ong>ofong>fer a paradoxical, moving elegy ong>ofong> things we ong>leftong>--or that ong>leftong> us--behind, not just the toys that grow obsolete, but a lost cat, a name, a monarch wing, a melting glacier, all the children at Terezin--an "immensity" that "recedes so incrementally we can't-- / we just can't / put a human face on it." Eimers looks closely at what we lose and how we let go ong>ofong> it, sorrowfully or with secret relief, or some irresoluble hope ong>ofong> recovery. Acquista Ora
