Exploring the intricacies of language and emotion, this collection features four cycles of unrhymed sonnets that delve into themes of identity and belonging. The first cycle examines the interplay between feelings and interpretation, while the second reflects on raising children in a foreign environment. The third cycle addresses the impact of historical trauma, specifically the Siege of Leningrad, and the final cycle focuses on the nuances of translation. Additionally, it includes a libretto about Ravel's collaboration with Paul Wittgenstein.
