The poet, Donna Stonecipher, is a translator, living in Berlin. She is the author of six books of poetry, most recently The Ruins of Nostalgia. This particular book is a series of prose poems remarking on her different nostalgic views on Seattle, her hometown. And juxtaposing that to what nostalgia might mean to Berlin. Germany has a complicated history. And Berlin, in particular, where rebuilding has to account for its very recent history as a divided city.
