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

\u201cI did not know there was a sound \/ silence made as it laps at the body\u2019s shore,\u201d observes Bridget Huh in her debut collection, Fugue Body<\/em>\u2014a book in which the body becomes a site of inquiry: a compositional space of melody, counterpoint, and theme. In surprising and intricately orchestrated poems that range from the lyric to the essayistic, Huh meditates on linguistic and racial identity, considers generational differences in an immigrant context, and recounts the life of the Finnish composer Jean Sibelius. In doing so, she renders the music of a restless, relentless mind with remarkable candour and beauty. \u201cI want all the violins to shimmer,\u201d writes Huh, \u201cI want them to stand for impermanence.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
