Description
Nina Bogin's third collection explores personal territory through poems that map memory and love to language and geography. Written in her adopted France, these spare and subtle verses examine the traces history leaves on the land and its inhabitants, as well as the poet's own relationship with time and place. The poems are informed by Bogin's historical connection to Middle Europe, where her ancestors once lived, and her experience of living in a region close to Switzerland and Germany. Her use of French and German influences adds complexity to her mother tongue, reflecting on the ways language can shape our understanding of ourselves and our surroundings. Through these poems, Bogin offers a nuanced exploration of place, memory, and identity, inviting readers to consider the ways history and culture intersect in our daily lives.
