Having None of It

In this third collection, award-winning poet Adrienne Su reflects deeply about the circumstances in which people are forced to remake themselves: as parents, as immigrants, as people whose marriages have ended, as people who've wound up in a place they never intended to settle.

From "Breakup"

"Another ending finds its place"
"among novels, lives, summers"
"that fled, but this kind has a way"
"of getting filed under failure: "

"yes, the relationship failed, "
"if to fail is to fail to endure."
