In this collection, Jacqueline Osherow gives us perfectly formed, musical poems that glide between the worlds of art, architecture, literature, and religion. Traveling through Europe, Tel Aviv, and New York, Osherow observes with a keen eye the details of objects—beautiful buildings and ancient artifacts—and of the conversations and interactions she has with others. Finely constructed and always engaging, her poems uncover the startling truths of memory and coax our own forgotten moments from the recesses of the mind.

Jacqueline Osherow is the author of eight previous collections of poems. She has received grants from the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the Ingram Merrill Foundation and was awarded the Witter Bynner Prize from the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters. She is Distinguished Professor of English at the University of Utah.
