Vise and Shadow by Peter Balakian
Offers a way to think about how the power of poetry, art, and the lyrical imagination illuminate history, trauma, and memory.
"Vise and Shadow belongs on a shelf alongside the literary essays of JM. Coetzee, Adrienne Rich, and Seamus Heaney-all of whom are absorbed by the very same questions haunting and inspiring Balakian." (Askold Melnyczuk, author of The House of Widows)
