"What Solitude Sees in Me: Uncollected Poems 1976-2023 is a selected volume of Mirima Sagan's personal and (mostly) unpublished archives that are just now seeing the light of day. A generous and illuminating tour of words to be sure, these rich and varied poems are a journey into her past, her language topographies, from Manhattan to Chaco Canyon and, predominantly, New Mexico. From the intimate ('the body burns into its own echo') to the expansive ('You are so deep into American you cannot get out'), these aren't previously rejected or neglected works so much as reconsiderations of the poet's lifelong spirited and lyrical terrains. They include family, curiosity (of course), and solitude. What solitude sees in her, the rest of us see as well. Many of her passions and formative experiences are explored in this beautiful and revelatory collection"--John Macker, author of Desert Threnody and Belated Mornings.
