# Foxglovewise: Poems - Hardcover

by **Ange Mlinko** (Author)

**Ange Mlinko, whose poetry is "irresistible" (_Los Angeles Review of Books_), opens our perception of other lives, or lives unlived.**

_Foxglovewise_ is, at its core, a response to the singular experience of the loss of one's parents. It begins at an Eastern Orthodox Epiphany ritual in Florida and ends in a cemetery in Los Angeles. Yet, as with Ange Mlinko's other books of poetry, the collection uses geography as a trope for the ways in which we try to map out our lives and make them legible, even as poetry, music, and paintings suggest that much of what happens, or matters, to us is "not on the maps" (not to mention "the apps"). Whether it's Europa borne over the waves, or gravestones bearing aliases rather than birth names, or books bequeathed to us by relatives in languages we can't read, we live "up in the air" or "on the wing" and not in fixed coordinates.

Mlinko's poetry is suffused with wit, erudition, beauty, and boundless energy. As Declan Ryan wrote of her work in _The Times Literary Supplement_, "A reader could be merely dazzled by all this surface stylishness . . . but then they would miss the heart beneath it all." _Foxglovewise_ is a direct line to the author's heart.
