Geography for the Lost

These are new poems that speak from different parts of the world and from different moments of history but always of the many ways of being lost and alienated in a place: in the past; in fear; in love; in the very quickness of life. The voices here, from a Roman housewife to a Chinese bar-owner in Berlin or an Argentine DJ, are those of the heart-sick, the culturally disorientated, temporary dwellers in cities, lives, destinies. Colourful, haunting, funny, bitter-sweet, the poems in Geography for the Lost mirror the restlessness of the human condition in Kassabova's best book yet.
