Description
Be with explores the complexities of human experience through poetry. Forrest Gander's collection draws on his experiences as a translator and poet to create a unique blend of language and reflection.
The book is divided into three sections, each offering a distinct perspective on the world. The first section features a powerful elegiac poem by St. John of the Cross, while the second section presents a multilingual poem examining the cultural history of the US-Mexico border. The third section is a deeply personal and moving collection of poems written by Gander as he navigated his mother's struggles with Alzheimer's disease.
Known for his formally restless poetry, Gander's work in Be with showcases his characteristic tensile energy and eclectic diction. This new collection offers a thought-provoking exploration of the human condition, inviting readers to reflect on their own experiences and connections to the world around them.
