Critical Reviews
"Anis Mojgani--dazzling meteor poet and thinker--follow him on this breathtaking, deeply moving voyage across sky and space and loss but mostly stare into the lake with him long enough to feel how wonders renew every cell. A crucial, amazing collection from a stirring high voltage voice!"--NAOMI SHIHAB NYE, author of 19 Varieties of Gazelle & Fuel
"'I can see it like it was a film, ' Anis Mojgani's rending new collection begins, and suddenly we see it too: cold black cherry cola through a straw, blackbirds rustling ripe plums down from trees, pizza shared between spouses who no longer cherish each other. Mojgani maps a path from the death of a friend to the death of a marriage to the death of a country. Here is a book that knows true grief, knows too how to alchemize that grief into grace. The cold, the fire, the losing, yes. But always, then: 'The spring. And the spring. The spring.'"--KAVEH AKBAR, author of Calling A Wolf A Wolf
