Inhaltsangabe

How do we make sense of our suffering? World of Dew grapples with this question by embracing impermanence—the death of a loved one, the transmutation of an old belief, the adoption of a new culture. Moving from the tide pools of Maine to the streets of Hyderabad, Lindsay Stuart Hill entwines grief and awe, beauty and violence, truth and delusion. These poems form a scrapbook of missing girls, clothes drying on a line, and lingering romances. This is the world of dew—a gorgeous and fragile cosmos where we know nothing lasts, and yet we remain—questioning, dreaming, hoping.

“We ended our tour on the bottom floor, in a large and empty hall, where there was a table bearing a tray of pumpkin muffins we weren’t allowed to eat. I imagined tearing one open, saw steam rising from the inside, and thought of how quickly a slip of butter would melt into the cake of it. We never had butter out for eating at home. It was always kept in the freezer, preserved until it was needed for baking. In that moment, I held the vanishing smear of it in my mind, and the imagined taste against the spices of the muffin was like the light from a match struck in the dark.”

—Excerpt from “The Bahá’í School”
