In this third collection, award-winning poet Adrienne Su reflects deeply about the circumstances in which people are forced to remake themselves: as parents, as immigrants, as people whose marriages have ended, as people who’ve wound up in a place they never intended to settle.
From “Breakup”:
Another ending finds its place
among novels, lives, summers
that fled, but this kind has a way
of getting filed under failure:
yes, the relationship failed,
if to fail is to fail to endure.
