Inspired by her encounter with Dr. Chevalier Jacksonās collection of ingested curiosities at Philadelphiaās MĆ¼tter Museum, Kimiko Hahnās tenth collection investigates the grip that seemingly insignificant objects exert on our lives. From fossilized remains to the heartbreaking detritus of her family home to her long-dead motherās Japanese jewelry, these poems movingly explore the relationship between our innermost selves and the relics of our vanished past. Foreign Bodies investigates the power of possession, replete with Hahnās singular Japanese- inflected sensibility and thrilling mastery of ever-changing forms.

From āA Dustingā
How ever Mother has reappeared
ā say, as motes on a feather dusterā
scientists say the galaxy
was created thus. This daybreak
she seeds a cumulus cloud.
