In Ewa Chrusciel's first book in English, Strata, an exile's
memories are . . . at once a rapture of possession (of being
possessed) and defeatingly untotalizable. Strata is . . . a
tumultuous revelation of how much of the past there still is, right
here in the near flight of letters, and of the burn of being in
time at all, the difficulty of catching up with oneself in a
universe that is never one, but always scattered. Strata is a book
of concuspiscences, of combings for pleasures, yes, but even more
for the Sacred Book it wants to be. In its every line, it shows
that the rhapsodic is the right approach to the truth about the
world. - from the foreword by Calvin Bedient Praise for Ewa
Chrusciel's poetry "With a wonderful insistence, each phrase in Ewa
Chrusciel's prose poetry can be experienced as a moment of
transition, of what Emerson would have called a darting aim.
"Whenever we visited, my grandfather would put his chair on the
road and wait," Chrusciel writes. "Kraina na Bosaka. We were the
apparition of deer. Pray, why chase each stalk of wounded light?"'
- Tony Brinkley, Boston Review
