More about the book

In this collection, Marianne Boruch explores the interplay of the mundane and the profound, scrutinizing familiar themes like history, memory, and existence with both humor and depth. Her poems present vivid imagery, such as a woman levitating while her daughter plays Mozart, and moments of divine contemplation before creation. Through varied tones and forms, Boruch captures the complexities of life, inviting readers to reflect on the strangeness of the world and the mysteries of their own experiences. Each poem is a meditation that reveals the extraordinary within the ordinary.
