Selected and Introduced by Jennifer Chang

"With quiet majesty, these poems create worlds out of small gestures, stories shared among friends and strangers, foreign cities and small American towns, moons, offices, snow, war, salt, and all the silences in between. It’s in these silences—vast, enigmatic, thrilling—that Gorin forms an intimacy with his reader, where we share in a kind of experience that we hope for most from reading poems."

—Jennifer Chang, from her introduction
