About the Book
Lucija Stupica’s fifth poetry collection is a conceptual whole. Written almost entirely in prose, it is Magnolia. At its core, its story is poetic; it moves between the perspectives of a first- and third-person narrator, following a winding search through past shadows and the hidden corners of family history. At the center of the book are the long-deceased brother of the narrator’s grandfather, who slips into the story as an unknown, never fully revealed ghost—effectively reflecting the poet’s effort to come to terms with inner exile and displacement—and the magnolia, which through its presence functions as a silent witness and at the same time an image of a constantly changing world. Stupica successfully confronts the question of how to tell one’s own life and the lives of others, knowing that for her poetry is the only available tool for reviving images from the past and, at the same time, that what is written is merely a product of her imagination. After the critically acclaimed collection Points of Disappearance (2019), Lucija Stupica returns as an indispensable poetic voice.
