Goodbye Eurydice - Paperback

by Wisteria Deng (Author)

Goodbye Eurydice is a chapbook about learning to let go, and about living with the impossibility of that lesson. Drawing on the myth of Eurydice, Wisteria Deng reimagines the act of looking back as devotion rather than failure. These poems move through migration, queer intimacy, illness, war, and recurring goodbyes: each goodbye is love returning in another form. At once ferocious and tender, Goodbye Eurydice asks what it means to choose memory, to keep turning toward what we are told to let go of, and to live with the knowledge that some losses are meant to be carried.
