At the collection's heart is \"No Sign,\" another in Balakian's series of long-form poems, following \"A-Train\/Ziggurat\/Elegy\" and \"Ozone Journal,\" which appeared in his previous two collections. In this dialogical multi-sectioned poem, an estranged couple encounters each other, after years, on the cliffs of the New Jersey Palisades. The dialogue that ensues reveals the evolution of a kaleidoscopic memory spanning decades, reflecting on the geological history of Earth and the climate crisis, the film \u003ci\u003eHiroshima Mon Amour\u003c\/i\u003e, the Vietnam War, a visionary encounter with the George Washington Bridge, and the enduring power of love.. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Whether meditating on the sensuality of fruits and vegetables, the COVID-19 pandemic, the trauma and memory of the Armenian genocide, James Baldwin in France, or Arshile Gorky in New York City, Balakian's layered, elliptical language, wired phrases, and shifting tempos engage both life's harshness and beauty and define his inventive and distinctive style. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeter Balakian\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of eight books of poems including \u003ci\u003eOzone Journal\u003c\/i\u003e, which won the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for poetry, and \u003ci\u003eZiggurat\u003c\/i\u003e, both published by the University of Chicago Press.
