About this product
Product Information
A grim prognosis, brain cancer, leaves the speaker in Kirkpatrick's Odessa fighting for her life. The tumor presses against her amygdalae, the "emotional core of the self," and central to the process of memory. In poems endowed with this emotional charge but void of sentimentality, Kirkpatrick sets out to recreate what was lost by fashioning a dreamlike reality. Odessa, "roof of the underworld," a refuge at once real and imagined, resembles simultaneously the Midwestern prairie and a mythical god-inhabited city. In image-packed lines bearing shades of Classical heroism, Kirkpatrick delivers a personal narrative of stunning dimension.

Reviews
"Among the many talents that contemporary American poetry offers, Patricia Kirkpatrick's Odessa shines a fierce white light." — Peter Campion, author of The Lions and Other People, 2012 Lindquist and Vennum Prize Judge, "As you read them, the poems in Patricia Kirkpatrick's Odessa ache in your hands. They will ache in your mind and memory, too, for a long while after you close the book. They ache with the inescapable beauty of landscapes that remind us of human loneliness--you can hear the grasslands sighing in these pages, hear birds great and tiny calling to each other as they try to find their way home. And they ache with longing for a self strong enough to survive the physical and psychic wounds that have confined it to rooms where flowers cannot grow and the wind cannot scour the soul clean of pain. This is a remarkably honest and deeply loving collection of poems. I haven't read anything quite so moving in a very long time." --Eleanor Lerman, author of Our Post-Soviet History Unfold and The Sensual World Re-Emerges, "Among the many talents that contemporary American poetry offers, Patricia Kirkpatrick's Odessa shines a fierce white light." -- Peter Campion, author of The Lions and Other People, 2012 Lindquist and Vennum Prize Judge
