Ă propos de ce livre
Country of Glass is the debut poetry collection from Sarah Katz, who offers an exploration of the concept of precariousness as it applies to bodies, families, countries, and whole societies. Katz employs themes of illness, disability, war, and survival within the contexts of family history and global historical events. The collection moves through questions about identity, storytelling, displacement, and trauma, constructing an overall narrative about what it means to love while trying to survive. The poems in this bookâwhich take the form of free verse, prose poems, sestinas, and erasuresâattempt to address human fragility and what resilience looks like in a world where so much is uncertain.

PoetryPART ONE
Itâs so quiet in the world. One can hear the old river, which in its confusion sometimes forgets and flows backward.
ââTHE DEAD MENâŠ,â THE WORLD DOESNâT END, CHARLES SIMIC
The Hidden Country, I
Two woolly animals meet,
their bodies as luminous as stars.
But this stillness between themâ
I donât understand.
Da Album
Bemel stole potatoes
from a freight car
to survive
Hantsavichy.
Great Grandma Sonia
watched
as he dragged the sack
past graves he dug
for other Jews,
unaware her daughter Annia
would marry him.
Thatâs not until New York,
where the past
barely exists, but
the pain lingers,
a ghost.
Until each night,
my father listens
as Bemel and Annia hurl dishes
at the walls before
he takes off
to Jacksonville
in a yellow convertible.
Now, Granny Annia gestures
to the girl
in the painting
hugging twigs
in a Siberian sunset of fog.
âLeestin to me,â she says,
brushing her fire-red hair.
She applies coral lipstick
onto her lips.
âDis ees my only story.â
I sit with the cracked-faced
dolls on the sofa
as she talks.
âYour Great Grandma Sonia
received Skippy
peanut butter
from the Red Cross
and not knowing what eet vas, used eet
to fill up cracks
in da apartment.â
âYour Great Uncle Lou
jumped out a window
with an umbrella
thinking he could fly.â
âWhen we left the camp for good,
Mr. Nut, da cat,
cried after us, following the truck.â
The kettle whistles on the stove
as she begins
to play the accordion
Lou brought
to another labor camp
under his clothes.
âDa album, sveetie,â
âPlease get me da album.â
Portrait of a Brother and Sister, 1940
She rides turtles across Siberian tundra.
Children shout in Polish from passing cattle cars.
Her brother strikes an angry driver with his gun,
who falls to the ground, mouth frothing like a dogâs.
Run, he shouts to her with a coyoteâs eyes
narrow as dark seeds.
Her brother chases her to Kazakhstan wielding
a snake stick. Yellow eyes stalk them at night.
She is six. By twelve, she knows seven languages,
memorizes Aleksander Pushkin, sings operettas
in French and German. In New York, she shapes
new sounds with her tongue. Always,
her brotherâs stick follows closely.
How to Be a Child of War
Be five years old
on an ice road in Siberia.
To the left, mountains.
To the right, mountains.
It is -35 degrees.
Up above, your mother in the forestâ
too thin to existâ
grinds a double-handed saw
across an oak
with another starved woman.
Watch from the road,
each tree, severing, crackling
under its newly uneven weight,
toppling from the mountain,
down into the Indigirka river.
Your mother who
has eaten nothing
but a slice of black bread.
Your mother, your mother.
The Beginning of Prayer
My father, tangled in the height of adolescence,
wept outside Old Saint Paulâs Church as spring died,
reading Desiderata. The poem lay inscribed
in rock at the rear of the church, where
he counted his blessings. The sky,
he told me, was angry, angrier than most,
and I imagined billowy Michelangelos
swollen with inconsolable rain.
I was eight when he told the story late one night,
after dinner, after all candles had been blown out.
He stroked my back as I lay on his stomach,
burying myself into his large body, thinking
This is the moment Iâm supposed...
