California Interest. Middle Eastern Studies. LGBTQIA Studies. Winner of the 2020 Frost Place Chapbook Competition. A swan song is a song of departure: after a lifetime of silence, the legend goes, the mute swan breaks into song just before leaving this world for good. Armen Davoudian's SWAN SONG chronicles what it's like to take leave of a home, a country, a past life. In their search for a home in language, these poems combine the formal resources of English and Persian poetry, turning the immigrant's permanent sense of loss and rootlessness, the gay person's sense of alienation, into artistic assets--positions of outsiderhood from which to witness and record. 586 $a "Winner of the 2020 Frost Place Chapbook Competition" 500 $a Poems. 546 $a In English, with one poem in Persian. 655 7 $a Poetry. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423828 655 7 $a Poetry. $2 lcgft 710 2 $a Bemis/Flaherty Collection of Gay Poetry. $5 WU 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117020851.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2218086478F711ECAF30597D2FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
