What is Rain in Plural: Poems (Princeton Series of Contemporary Poets Book 155) about?

A highly anticipated new collection from a poet whose previous book was a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book PrizeRain in Plural is the much-anticipated fourth collection of poetry by Fiona Sze-Lorrain, who has been praised by The Rumpus as "a master of musicality & enlightening allusions." In the wholly original world of these new poems, Sze-Lorrain addresses both private narratives & the overexposed discourse of the polis, using silence and montage, lyric & antilyric, to envision what she calls "creating between liberties." With a moral precision embracing us without eschewing I, she rethinks questions of citizenship, the selections of sensory memory, and, by extension, the tether of word and image to the actual. She writes, "I accept the truth in newspapers / by holding the murder of my friends against my chest. // To each weather forecast I give thanks: / merci for every outdated // dusk/dawn."...Fiona Sze-Lorrain is a fiction writer, poet, musician, translator, & editor. She writes & translates in English, French, & Chinese. She is the author of five poetry collections, most recently Rain in Plural (Princeton, 2020) & The Ruined Elegance (Princeton, 2016), & fifteen books
