Description

A 2019 Poetry Book Society Winter Wild Card, Mimi Khalvati's "Afterwardness" is a deeply personal and culturally rich collection of sonnets. Drawing on her Iranian heritage and years spent in Britain, the poems explore themes of memory, history, and daily life.

The sonnet form is stretched to its limits in this innovative series, as Khalvati adapts the traditional Petrarchan sonnet to create a unique and captivating voice. The result is a self-portrait that reveals her moods, anxieties, and delights, all woven together with her intersecting geographies and cultures.

With "Afterwardness", Khalvati continues her exploration of the sonnet form, pushing its possibilities in new and fruitful directions. This is a book that will appeal to readers interested in poetry, memoir, and cultural identity.
