Miracle Fruit
Miracle Fruit: Poems | Aimee Nezhukumatathil
1 post | 2 read
Poetry. As three worlds collide, a mother's Philippines, a father's India and the poet's contemporary America, the resulting impressions are chronicled in this collection of incisive and penetrating verse. The writer weaves her words carefully into a wise and affecting embroidery that celebrates the senses while remaining down-to-earth and genuine. "We see that everything is in fact miracle fruit, including this book itself"-Andrew Hudgins.

"Miracle fruit changes the tongue. One bite,/ and for hours all you eat is sweet."

Nezhukumatathil's book opens with these very appropriate lines. Reading her poems about both tiny moments and big reflections on cultural heritage that are full of slippery, deliciously liquid imagery has spoiled me.
