Wound is the Origin of Wonder introduces UK readers to the work of
a rapidly rising star in American poetry. Maya C. Popa is a
naturally gifted poet, lucidly engaged with the most profound
questions we face in our collective responsibilities and our
relations with each other. She writes with love and wonder of a
world poised at a perilous moment: "My children, will they exist by
the time / it's irreversible?" she asks. "Will they live /
astonished at the thought of ice / not pulled from the mouth of a
machine?" Popa takes seriously the poet's duty to pay attention, to
seek what Seamus Heaney called "the images... adequate to our
predicament". To read her poems is to pause again and again at the
precision of imagery, breadth of ideas, and the warmth and
generousness of her lyric voice.
