Description
Poetry. "In these incisive poems, Susan Tichy explores Vietnam - the war and the country. She has a keen eye, and her perceptual clusters are widened and deepened by sharp moments of recognition. 'Someone had drawn red circles / where his eyes would be,' she writes of a man who begs on the steps of a pagoda. Just as the circles 'make a place to look,' so these poems make a haunting place from which to see" - Arthur Sze. "Language tracks loss, both personal and cultural, making of her poetics the discovery of 'truth in ash'" - Michael Heller. Susan Tichy teaches in the Graduate Writing Program at George Mason University, and when she is not teaching, she lives in a ghost town in the Colorado Rockies. - from Amzon
