A review by losethegirl
The Country Between Us by Carolyn Forché

dark emotional hopeful reflective medium-paced

5.0

This book is going on my list of all time favourites. I kept reading and rereading pages over and over again, I'm left aching for more of this book. Particular favourites were "The Visitor", "Because One is Always Forgotten", and "Joseph". I'd highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys poetry that interlocks violence and love, or anyone who's Eastern European living outside of Eastern Europe. It captured so many of my feelings about being unable to go back to somewhere I've always thought of as home, and so many of my feelings about love in general.
