Publisher's Synopsis
Poetry. I read AN URGENT REQUEST with enormous appreciation. The mix of emotion and imagination, the near side of the domestic juxtaposed with the wrenching human questions, without the scaffolding of overt autobiographical narrative, immediately brings to mind some of my very favorite poets: Akhmatova, Radnoti, and Rosario Castellanos. Beautiful poetry--Jeffrey Greene. Sharp, dramatic, funny and shocking poetry--Yuri Andrukhovych.
