We start out dazzled by the sheer beauty of the perceptions, the subtle music, the surprising shifts into complex inference and meditation. We end up `flattened against our seats' gasping for breath as the poem takes off into unsuspected altitudes-or depths. Empathy is not just a fine book. It is an event. An important event. -- Rosmarie Waldrop In Mei-mei Berssenbrugge's Empathy, `the human hovers like a mood' that refuses definition. In the flickering mirrors of distant landscapes, perception melts, like ice `glowing with light,' into an intimate familiarity. These poems, with their startlingly detailed equivocations, and the scenes and sights they evoke, have become `spiritual exercises in physical form. -- Charles Bernstein Author InformationMei-mei Berssenbrugge was born in Beijing and grew up in Massachusetts. She is the author of twelve books of poetry, including Empathy, Nest, and I Love Artists. A Lit Cloud, her recent collaboration with the artist Kiki Smith, was published by Galerie Lelong in 2012.
