Description
A poet of profound emotional intensity and multivalent voices, Mei-mei Berssenbrugge crafts long, shimmering lines that splinter space, silence, and desert light. Her new collection, Hello, the Roses, is composed of three parts, each exploring different facets of experience and perception. The opening poems delve into unities of myth, landscape, fashion, culture, and forgetting, while the central poems reveal an invisible world where plants, animals, and the self communicate and coexist. The final part contemplates the individual's relationship to night, weather, and cosmological time, weaving a karmic temporal continuum that transforms awareness. Throughout Hello, the Roses, the roses themselves take on various forms, from wild to cultivated, each one imbuing the poem with a sense of saturated being in pink petals and gray-green leaves. This is poetry enraptured with the phenomenal fullness of the world.
