Description:
<p><strong>Winner, 2023 Trillium Book Award for Poetry </strong></p>
<p><strong>Finalist, Gerald Lampert Memorial Award<br>
The highly anticipated debut collection from acclaimed poet Sanna Wani.</strong></p>
<p>In Sanna Wani’s poems, each verse is ode and elegy. The body is the page, time is a friend, and every voice, a soul. Sharply political and frequently magical, these often-intimate poems reach for everything from Hayao Miyazaki’s 1997 film <em>Princess Mononoke </em>to German Orientalist scholarship on early Islam. From concrete to confessional, exegesis to erasure, the Missinnihe river in Canada to the Zabarwan mountains in Kashmir, <em>My Grief, the Sun</em> undoes genre, listens carefully to the planet’s breathing, addresses an endless and ineffable you, and promises enough joy and sorrow to keep growing.</p>
