    About this ebook

    Anchored by the desire to find a home in a place of in-betweenness— among cultures, languages and identities— In Another Country reflects on war and memory, death and art, love and desire, and the immigrant experience. While containing arresting imagery and various cultural references, such as American film and music, these poems nod to other artists who have made their home away from their homeland, such as the Turkish writer and director Emine Sevgi zdamar. Although Jurjevic' s poems navigate the disorienting terrain of self, they have a strong sense of geography and concrete reality. These poems wear a dark sensuality. They are inquisitive, direct, and at times erotic.

      Rewilding the Fairy Tale

      May 30, 2023

      RAIN WAS FALLING when I carried my two-year-old daughter and her tricycle home from the park. Her legs, galoshes swinging, straddled my pregnant belly. One small rubber tricycle wheel bumped against my shin with each step; the other spun on its axle.

      When I think of the Scarborough house, I remember the wind whipping through my salt-hardened curls and my little-girl feet bare and crusted with sand as I run through its heavy wooden doors. I was four and wild as the landscape itself. My grandparent
