<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>These poems carry hope for future generations to find American life less forbidding and divisive than the poet.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><i>Some Say the Lark</i> is a piercing meditation, rooted in loss and longing, and manifest in dazzling leaps of the imagination--the familiar world rendered strange. --Natasha Trethewey</p><p>Chang's poems narrate grief and loss, and intertwines them with hope for a fresh start in the midst of new beginnings. With topics such as frustration with our social and natural world, these poems openly question the self and place and how private experiences like motherhood and sorrow necessitate a deeper engagement with public life and history.</p><p><b>From The Winter's Wife: </b></p><p><i>I want wild roots to prosper<br>an invention of blooms, each unknown<br>to every wise gardener. If I could be<br>a color. If I could be a question<br>of tender regard. I know crabgrass<br>and thistle. I know one algorithm: <br>it has nothing to do with repetition<br>or rhythm. It is the route from number<br>to number (less to more, more<br>to less), a map drawn by proof<br> not faith. Unlike twilight, I do not<br>conclude with darkness. I conclude.</i><br></p><p><b>Jennifer Chang</b> is the author of <i>The History of Anonymity</i>, which was a finalist for the Glasgow/Shenandoah Prize for Emerging Writers and listed by <i>Hyphen Magazine</i> as a Top Five Book of Poetry for 2008.
