A searing new collection from a master of the poetic monologue. A disillusioned Irish nun moves to America, meets Elvis, and rediscovers her faith. An amputee goes on a strange journey during a hurricane. Each of the speakers in Ai's daring new collection has a uniquely American story to tell, and each is told with the poet's characteristic dark humour and ambition.
"A few of these technically brilliant and emotionally devastating soliloquies offer glimpses into the poet's life and, in the staggering 'The Cancer Chronicles,' her death. Let Ai's books preserve her compassion and righteous anger, her artistry and profound sense of the paradoxes of human existence." -- Donna Seaman
