Country of Glass: Poems

By Sarah Katz and Sarah Katz

Book Overview

Country of Glass is the debut poetry collection from Sarah Katz, who offers an exploration of the concept of precariousness as it applies to bodies, families, countries, and whole societies. Katz employs themes of illness, disability, war, and survival within the contexts of family history and global historical events. The collection moves through questions about identity, storytelling, displacement, and trauma, constructing an overall narrative about what it means to love while trying to survive. The poems in this book--which take the form of free verse, prose poems, sestinas, and erasures--attempt to address human fragility and what resilience looks like in a world where so much is uncertain.
