In Another Country | Andrea Jurjevi
1 post
Anchored by the desire to find a home in a place of in-betweenness-among cultures, languages and identities-In Another Country reflects on war and memory, death and art, love and desire, and the immigrant experience. While containing arresting imagery and various cultural references, such as American film and music, these poems nod to other artists who have made their home away from their homeland, such as the Turkish writer and director Emine Sevgi zdamar. Although Jurjevi's poems navigate the disorienting terrain of self, they have a strong sense of geography and concrete reality. These poems wear a dark sensuality. They are inquisitive, direct, and at times erotic.
