Poetry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A Tilt: Poems<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Publisher’s Synopsis (From its website)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The poet\u2019s many years as a practicing psychiatrist has given her the opportunity to look at, and experience, life with an acute intensity of joy and pain. Farideh de Bosset\u2019s poetic and cultural roots go back to Iran, where she was born. \u201cPoetry was a part of everyday life for me,\u201d explains de Bosset, \u201cwhile growing up in Iran, it was the language of our household. My parents often communicated by reciting poetry, one starting a line, the other continuing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each poem in this debut collection records the events of a woman\u2019s everyday life, as well as the poet\u2019s experiences of talking to, and healing with, patients, and friends and family, as well as the impact of literature and art, the countries she\u2019s lived in and visited, and, of course, her dreams and her understanding of those dreams on her work, her creation of art, and her life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The title, A Tilt<\/em>, refers to life being lived on a fine balance, or a tilt, and this experience is intensified as an immigrant. de Bosset says, \u201cAn immigrant is always between two languages, two cultures, like living on a \u201ctilt\u201d and being in danger of falling.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
