Lost HarePaperback, 19 May 2012

The spare and subtle poems of Nina Bogin's third collection map personal territory - places of memory and love as much as of language and geography. An American writing in her adopted France, in the eastern border region close to Switzerland and Germany, she examines - sometimes obliquely, sometimes directly - the traces history leaves on the land and its inhabitants, while also exploring her own, sometimes uneasy, relationship to time and place in a mother tongue that has undergone French and German influences, connecting her historically to the Middle Europe of her ancestors.
