Sixteen Rabbits

by Maryan Nagy Captan

Sixteen Rabbits transports us through dream, memory, place and time, by opening portals that exist in the liminal space between two worlds. These meditative journeys spring from a deep nostalgia, and one of the most urgent expressions of longing in Captan's work is that of the displaced, yearning for home. Through displacement, religious persecution, and trauma, these poems come shimmering forth 'in full-bodied reverie' seeking divine wisdom which echoes throughout Sixteen Rabbits like a summons—to see this moment, this place, this life--in all of its enchantment. As Captan writes: 'reverence, / I am writing with reverence.'
