Reviews

To the émigré, to the displaced, to the pilgrim whose road is long, the native and the adopted home are possessed by one common power—time—which renders  both origin and destination hauntingly familiar yet alien. The author of we made each other up writes

 
back home
for a week now
still dreaming
in the other
language
 

Where is home? And what, furthermore, is it? Such are the beautiful preoccupations of the poetry in this book. Katherine Samuelowicz’s voice, with its frank vulnerability and tender courage, is one that I cherish.
