Reviews
"Fiona Sze-Lorrain's much-awaited fourth poetry collection, Rain in Plural , is a polyphonic gathering of wide-ranging themes. . . . Sze-Lorrain's work allows us to grasp, for a moment, the points of contact that translation perpetually seeks. Therein lies the philosophical importance of Rain in Plural : eschewing equivalence, Sze-Lorrain crafts a poetics of border spaces and contact zones." ---Lara Norgaard, Singapore Unbound, "The collection reveals the inner-life of a truly remarkable poet. Radiantly intelligent, Sze-Lorrain's work is as musically intoxicating as the zheng she plays with precision . . . Rain in Plural is a collection of poetry deserving of multiple reads in the quietude of soft light over one's left shoulder." ---Michael Escoubas, Quill & Parchment, "Such unexpected juxtapositions lend the collection a quirky vividness. Though consecutive lines and stanzas often touch on drastically different subjects, the poems still offer a sense of wholeness. . . . Regardless of her subject, Sze-Lorrain manages to be inventive and original without sacrificing authenticity and musical balance." ---Maggie Wang, Harvard Review, "There is something for every reader in Rain in Plural . . . Rain in Plural is an invitation to a myriad of entanglements with the inner life, and what grows from the seeds planted there." ---Hannah VanderHart, EcoTheo Review, "Provocative . . . lyrical. . . . These lovely poems slide between equally compelling realities that don't seem to belong together but ultimately unify and bring sense, compassion, and beauty." ---Kyle Torke, Colorado Review, Fiona Sze-Lorrain's fourth book of original poems, Rain in Plural . . . uses language to uncover questions of citizenship, memory, and image. We love Sze-Lorrain's lush, musical sensibilities. . . . If you've enjoyed her work in the past, you're sure to enjoy Rain in Plural , too!, Rain in Plural is a lush and intimate study of the porous boundaries of personal life. Inflected with quietude and hardened by rigorous examination, Sze-Lorrain's careful eye ranges over landscapes both within and outside the self, mining language for new entry points., "The poetry in her newest collection, Rain in Plural , is neither a mélange nor a mosaic of cultural, intellectual and linguistic referents, but a deeply intertwined layering . . . Sze-Lorrain seems at home and a visitor everywhere, connecting dots across cultures and continents, dipping into languages and cuisines. If there is a globalized future for English-language literature, this is perhaps an early glance at it." ---Asian Review of Books, Peter Gordon, " Rain in Plural is a collection that quietly insists on your attention." ---Lisa Higgs, The Adroit Journal, "The poems in this very good collection, even those that are slight on the page, have an epic, Yeatsian sweep to them, a grandeur of statement found in a lightness of touch." ---Dominic Leonard, Poetry London

Synopsis
The highly anticipated new collection from a poet whose previous book was a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize Rain in Plural is the much-anticipated fourth collection of poetry by Fiona Sze-Lorrain, who has been praised by The Rumpus as "a master of musicality and enlightening allusions." In the wholly original world of these new poems, Sze-Lorrain addresses both private narratives and the overexposed discourse of the polis , using silence and montage, lyric and antilyric, to envision what she calls "creating between liberties." With a moral precision embracing us without eschewing I , she rethinks questions of citizenship, the selections of sensory memory, and, by extension, the tether of word and image to the actual. She writes, "I accept the truth in newspapers / by holding the murder of my friends against my chest. // To each weather forecast I give thanks: / merci for every outdated // dusk/dawn." Agrippina the Younger, Franz Kafka, Bob Dylan, a butoh performance, an unnamed Raku tea bowl--each has a place here. Made whole by time and its alteration in timelessness, synchrony, coincidences, and accidents, Rain in Plural beautifully reveals an elegiac yet ever-evolving inner life., The highly anticipated new collection from a poet whose previous book was a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book PrizeRain in Plural is the much-anticipated fourth collection of poetry by Fiona Sze-Lorrain, who has been praised by The Rumpus as "a master of musicality and enlightening allusions."
