No Surrender by Ai
A searing new collection from a master of the poetic monologue. A disillusioned Irish nun moves to America, meets Elvis, and rediscovers her faith. An amputee goes on a strange journey during a hurricane. Each of the speakers in Ai's daring new collection has a uniquely American story to tell, and each is told with the poet's characteristic dark humour and ambition.
"A few of these technically brilliant and emotionally devastating soliloquies offer glimpses into the poet's life and, in the staggering 'The Cancer Chronicles,' her deathLet Ai's books preserve her compassion and righteous anger, her artistry and profound sense of the paradoxes of human existence." -- Donna Seaman
Ai (1947-2010) is the author of eight books of poetry, including the National Book Award–winning Vice. In 2009 she was named a United States Artist Ford Fellow. She was a professor at Oklahoma State University.
