Geography For The Lost Reviews
-
I stumbled into this book at the Auckland Central Library. It is a lovely collection dealing with identity, culture, and a sense of belonging to place.

Poetry for the dispossessed

I read those poems about borders, language and "the loss of homely innocence" of the displaced, and kept thinking I wish they were essays. There is simply not enough room in the genre of poetry for what she's trying to do. At the end of the book (published 10 years ago) I found a short autobiographical essay which is the best piece of writing in the book, so that's when it all sort of clicked. I need to read her - now widely acclaimed - non-fiction instead.

Started reading in Bulgaria. Looking forward to reading more of her.
