Sophia Rivkin's debut collection, THE VALISE, embraces all of the terrors and joys of life from the harrowing world of her Russian grandmother to the fragile body of a dead field mouse. Rivkin's keen and unblinking eye, great verbal energy, and wry wisdom confront her subjects with continuous, genuine surprise. Terry Blackhawk notes: \"Rivkin finds her truths in the surreal, the folkloric, the vibrant lie, the slightly off-kilter translation. These energetic poems let 'the stunned, ruined things . . . speak.' They help us understand the price of survival, and we pay it gladly.\"","brand":"Mayapple Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47020209864944,"sku":"9780932412720","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780932412720","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
