My Funeral Gondola

By Fiona Sze-Lorrain

Book Overview

Poetry. "A playful, Zen-like clarity and gentleness characterize the poems in Fiona Sze-Lorrain's new book, along with a distinct sense of an animating mystery. The world here is at once deliciously material and refreshingly ethereal. This is an engaging collection, resonant with promise and presence." Peter Cole"In MY FUNERAL GONDOLA, Fiona Sze-Lorrain opens her astute ear to the ' c]ryptic shapes of yes and no.' Less lamentation than musical questioning procession, this exquisite collection sounds a counterpoint of firmament and terra firma, 'an air / between real and improvised time.' Sze-Lorrain imbues her poems with a plaintive beauty; her language with a subtle complexity as faceted, as dazzling, as a 'thousandfold sun and a clarity frozen.'" Sylvia Legris"
