City of Rivers (McSweeney's Poetry Series)

City of Rivers (McSweeney's Poetry Series)
- Used Book in Good Condition
We used to play soccer in the monsoon rains.
Through my windows, I can see acres of fields,
Lying in the ruins of the wind.

The poems in City of RiversÂ—the first full-length collection from 23-year-old wunderkind Zubair AhmedÂ—are clear and cool as a glass of water. Grounded in his childhood in Bangladesh, Ahmedâ€™s spare, evocative poems cast a knowing eye on the wider world, telling us what itâ€™s like to be displaced and replaced, relocated and dislocated. His poems are suffused with a graceful, mysterious pathosÂ—and also with joy, humor, and longingÂ—with the full range of human emotions. City of Rivers is a remarkable and precocious debut.
