To Forget Venice is the improbable challenge and the title of Peg Boyers’s newest collection of poems. The site of several unforgettable years of her adolescence, the place she has returned to more frequently than any other, the city of Venice is both adored and reviled by the speakers in this varied and unconventionally polyphonic work. The voices we hear in these poems belong not only to characters like the mother of Tadzio (think Death in Venice), or the companion of Vladimir Ilych Lenin, or the Victorian prophet John Ruskin and his wife, Effie, but also to wall moss, and sand, and—most especially—an authorial speaker who in 1965, at age thirteen, landed in Venice and never quite recovered from the formative experiences that shaped her there. Ranging over several stages of a life that features adolescent heartbreak and betrayal, marriage and children, friendship and loss, the book insistently addresses the author’s desire to get to the bottom of her obsession with a place that has imprinted itself so profoundly on her consciousness.

Zustand: Como nuevo. : En 'To Forget Venice', Peg Boyers plantea un desafío tanto para ella misma como para el lector. Venecia es el escenario de varios años inolvidables de su adolescencia, y sigue siendo la ciudad a la que regresa año tras año. También es un lugar adorado y criticado por los personajes de este libro de poemas. A lo largo del libro, las voces que escuchamos pertenecen no solo a personajes imaginarios de la literatura, como la madre de Tadzio (de 'Muerte en Venecia'), o la compañera de Vladimir Illych Lenin, o el profeta victoriano John Ruskin y su esposa Effie, sino también al musgo de las paredes, la arena y, sobre todo, a una persona que, a los trece años, llegó a Venecia en 1965 y nunca se recuperó de las experiencias formativas que la marcaron allí. Abarcando varias etapas de una vida que incluye desamor y traición en la adolescencia, matrimonio e hijos, amistad y pérdida, el libro aborda insistentemente el deseo del autor de llegar al fondo de su obsesión con un lugar que se ha grabado de forma indeleble en su conciencia. Intenso y bellamente elaborado, es también un libro de auténtica grandeza, donde la trascendencia y el autodesprecio chocan para crear una vida humana.
