Praise for Len Verwey's In a Language That You Know "Contemplative and lyrical. . . . 'When I cannot find you / I give your name to everything.' Such poems employ the periphery as an active, sometimes disquieting space from which to imagine. Such poems disarm me into sorrow, into hope."--Aracelis Girmay, author of The Black Maria "Poems in this book plunge you, without warning, from a mattress on the floor, a village bus stop, or a fisherman's boat into the depth of human aloneness. . . . Len Verwey writes: 'You need to breathe / in stone, breathe out a flower.' He accomplishes this mission in his book: breathing in history and landscape, he breathes out powerful, fervent lyricism."--Valzhyna Mort, author of Collected Body "A quiet exploration of life in a country tinged with violence, social inequality, and dark history. The poetry, however, is never overtly political or judgmental. Verwey's touch is much lighter, mostly drawing on personal experience to highlight the problems of a male culture that applauds machismo and sexual conquest. . . . Verwey's poetry is characterized by precise language and an intense lyricism that speaks directly to the heart of the reader. . . . Despite the dark uncertainty, there's also a sense of precarious hope."--Alison Flett, Transnational Literature, "This is a brilliant, contemplative, passionate collection. Rich with 'un-' words--unreceiving, unanswered, undone--it leads us into the unknowable, invents a new country. A poetry of the afterwards, the collection reaches past 'unconfronted shadows' and 'old acrimonies' and ultimately toward love. No simple tenderness, this love, but schooled in a long knowing, finally earning the coming of 'something almost imperceptible, unforced, unbidden' that reveals 'the wilder wonder of all.'"--Gabeba Baderoon, author of A Hundred Silences and The History of Intimacy
