New Poems

“Trzyna’s strongly musical poems with ‘fat vowels like mustachioed porpoises’ paint portraits of the land and the people from Danzig to California. They bring us aunts playing gin rummy, the laborer who fled Alabama and grew onions on a toxic landfill, the Japanese gardener who killed himself rather than be taken to the camps. Trzyna laments what we’ve lost and helps us think harder about the world we want to live in.”
