Description:
<p><b>Longlist 2024 Raymond Souster Award</b></p><p><b>Part family history, part scientific exploration, <i>Elementary Particles</i> examines the world through the lens of a daughter grieving the loss of her beloved father.</b></p> <p>Through keen, quiet observation, Sneha Madhavan-Reese's evocative new collection takes us from the wide expanse of rural India to the minute map of Michigan we carry on the palms of our hands. These poems contemplate ancestral language, the wonder and uncertainty of scientific discovery, the resilience of a dung beetle, the fleeting existence of frost flowers on the Arctic Ocean.</p> <p>The collection is full of familiar characters, from Rosa Parks to Seamus Heaney to Corporal Nathan Cirillo, anchoring it in specific moments in time and place, but has the universality that comes from exploring the complex relationship between a child and her immigrant parents, and in turn, a mother and her children. <i>Elementary Particles</i> examines the building blocks of a life &#8212; the personal, family, and planetary histories, transformations, and losses we all experience.</p>
