Rest

Rest is a vivid, powerful collection examining the human cost of crossing the border. In 2010, Margaree Little was working for a humanitarian mission near Tucson when, along with a group of volunteers, she found the unidentified dead body of a man, who a medical examiner would later estimate died at least six months before. This discovery serves as the jumping-off point to a stunning, elegiac series of poems commemorating an imagined, unknown life. Anchored by Little's keen eye and unsparing self-reflection, this collection asks us to examine how a single life can affect so many others.

Odihna este o colectie vie, puternica, care examineaza costurile umane pentru trecerea frontierei. In 2010, Margaree Little lucra pentru o misiune umanitara langa Tucson cand, impreuna cu un grup de voluntari, a gasit cadavrul neidentificat al unui barbat, despre care un medic legist ar fi estimat mai tarziu ca a murit cu cel putin sase luni inainte.
