Milkweed Books presents Patrycja Humienik to Minneapolis to launch her poetry collection We Contain Landscapes with special guest poets Tarik Dobbs, Sarah Ghazal Ali, & torrin a. greathouse. All the poets will read, followed by a conversation about Patrycja's newest work, and a book signing after. ABOUT THE BOOK To whom do we belong, and at what cost? Patrycja Humienik’s debut poetry collection, We Contain Landscapes, is haunted by questions of desire, borders, and the illusion of national belonging. Bringing music and rich sensory detail to the page, these poems attend to the inextricable link between our bodies and the land. Over six ruminative and lush sections, they survey place and memory, both intergenerationally and through emotional bonds with other immigrant daughters. Weaving in letters, innovative forms, and meditations on devotion, sexuality, and self-deceit, We Contain Landscapes introduces a speaker who “will not turn away from the ache of this world.” For every reader who also harbors a voracious longing to encounter infinite landscapes and ways of being, this incisive collection dreams toward a more expansive idea of kinship—of becoming beloved to one another and ourselves.
