Aprašymas

Elina Katrin's Overwintered is a brilliant debut collection that deftly examines the space between Syrian, Russian, and American cultures. Navigating immigration, the book moves through the fractured landscapes of memory that define the speaker's translation of place, relationships, and time: "I say sister / but it comes out / solstice / each day the longest / since I have seen you." Katrin's spare yet lush poetry illuminates the constant acclimation and evolution of language. Lilies, figs, Paskha cakes, habibi-flavored coffee, and other metaphors combine in elegant, contemporary explorations of a speaker honoring her origins while also growing into a unified, unique self.
