Sinopsis
"Exiles are the first to know Where the world ends." These poems, subtle, gently surreal in their sudden turns and juxtapositions, trace the fault lines, displacements, and polyphonies of an emigrant's life. If they are cosmopolitan-stretched between continents, languages, histories, and cultures-it is with the awareness of a world fast losing its coherence as a world. Disaster lies beneath their surfaces, and we have to read them slowly, then more slowly, to see how it is our disaster, too, that of a modernity crumbling under the pressure of its own contradictions. Possibilities of repair also exist here. Love permeates this work with all the light and warmth of the Mediterranean Sea, home for Diana S. Engelmann and a locus of both memory and loss. Recalling the sensibilities of compatriot Serbo-Croatians Ivan Lali¿ and Vasko Popa, but also Americans like H.D. and James Merrill, she looks within a European tradition for the moral as well as aesthetic resources to resist the destructive forces that threaten as never before to break a fundamental human connection and care.

Acerca del autor
Diana S. Engelmann was born in the former Yugoslavia with roots in both Croatian and Serbian cultural traditions. She finished her undergraduate degree at the University of Belgrade with a double major in English and Italian literature. Her poetry received numerous awards and was published in many literary journals and poetry reviews throughout the former Yugoslavia, leading to the publication of her two first poetry collections in Belgrade.After transferring to UCLA as a graduate student, she started writing in English, focusing on the themes of exile, memory, and translation as well as war and violence in her former homeland. She has published in the UCLA collection Suitcase, The Antioch Review, Field, and Carte Italiane. Her current work on what nature means in the age of the Anthropocene weaves the history and mythology of her native Adriatic region together with the deserts and forests of California. She has been a professor of English at Santa Monica College since 1998.
