Description

In this artfully crafted first collection, Soraya Peerbaye explores in exquisite detail the material and the ephemeral, from the intricacies of objects owned by her father, and the habits that animate them, to the landscape and residents of the Antarctic Peninsula. Throughout, Peerbaye weaves a poetic treatise on the meaning of naming and gesture, and how they can express possession and power, or kinship, inquisitiveness and love. These astonishing poems illuminate a lightness of being in a floating world of incisive, articulate language.
