Description
Mei-mei Berssenbrugge's poetry collection Empathy marks a significant turning point in her work, as her lines expand across the page to encompass the natural world with intimate nuance. In these poems, empathy is not just a space between individuals, but also extends to the external world, where elements like water and animals become loci of human illumination and desire.
The poet's unique approach moves seamlessly between inner and outer phenomena, creating a sense of breathtaking evenness. As Berssenbrugge writes in her new preface, she believes we are born with the capacity to sense emotional nuance around us, not just in our personal relationships but also in the world at large.
This edition of Empathy features a new preface and showcases Berssenbrugge's innovative style, which has been praised for its philosophical depth and rhythmic beauty. With 69 pages of poetry, this collection is a thought-provoking exploration of empathy and our place within the natural world.
