Recensioner i media
Trained in philosophy, Beirut-born author/activist Adnan blends a meditation on the meaning of memory with memories themselves, dredged up from a long life. And surely night, her setting here, is the time for such dredging. Adnan rigorously asserts that reason and memory move together. But she argues that a remembered event is a return to a mystery, and her writing is eye-openingly lush, gorgeous, even surreal (waves of roses are blanketing memory), showing us the mind at work on its unstructured, uncertain edges. The epigrammatic ending, Conversations with my soul (Why are we lonelier when/ together), will feed even those who dont typically read poetry. VERDICT A good way for sophisticated readers to recall why they first loved verse.Library Journal These poems engage in a daring, meditative exploration of perception and her own experiences. Adnan does this with a courageous interiority that becomes universal as the text unfolds. Memory is a particularly notable leitmotif as it relates to identity, whether personal or collective.
