Dear Memphis
Angebote / Angebote:
Debut Poetry Collection from Seattle Poet Rachel Edelman."What do I know of exile?" asks the speaker in DEAR MEMPHIS, standing inside the colliding geographies and intimate economies of the American South. Offering a direct address to the city where the poet grew up, this collection explores the displacement and belonging of a Jewish family in Memphis, Tennessee, alongside their histories of community and environment. The simultaneous richness and spareness of Edelman's poems sing with their attention to the particular body and what it cannot carry, what it cannot put down. Through letters, visual art, city documents, and dialogue, DEAR MEMPHIS excavates ancestry, inheritance, and the ecological possibility of imagining a future.
