Empathy, first published by Station Hill Press in 1989, marked a
turning point in Mei-mei Berssenbrugge’s poetry, her lines
lengthening across the page like so many horizons, tuned intimately
to the natural world and its human relations, at once
philosophical, lush, and rhythmic. As she writes in the new note
for this edition, “I started to feel my way toward an intuited
subliminal wholeness of composition.” In these poems, empathy not
only becomes the space of one person inside another, but of one
element (water, or fog), one place (tundra or desert mesa), one
animal (the swan) as the locus of human illumination and desire.
