footprints by Es Lv

$ 20.00

Methodical, restrained, and intimate, Es Lv’s footprints is a space for accounts of worlds that have existed, for the rawness of the worlds we live in, and for worlds we can write into existence. The poems gather narrative, perception, imagination, and formal intricacy, exploring how their confluences might reframe each other. The collection embraces environments as holders of meaning and the wisdom of spaciousness.

Es Lv’s poems are invitations to build together, connections and worlds. Born into a Taiwan under martial law, they have lived many places and many roles. In art framing, in solidarity movements, in seasonal work, and many others. In her writing live those nested sensibilities, exhaustion and possibilities beyond, and the camaraderie. And much luck.
