Produktbeschreibung
Algometry is a lyrical portrait of the generation of Ukrainians who grew up and were shaped by the common and individual painful inner and outer experiences, to become the most resilient and brave nation. Algometry is a term of physiology and neurology, but it is not the physical pain that is the recurring motif of the book: the speaker, a millennial woman who grew up in Western Ukraine in the 90s, takes us through the three thematic corridors emphasizing emotional sensitivity, hyper-empathy, and inner strength. The poems, organized in three corridors Algometry--Anthropology--Amnesia take the reader through an individual past, common future, and a lyrical forever. The poetry is complemented with an author's essay on love, pain, words, and what unites all living beings--a key to understanding of this book. Algometry--is a philosophical and lyrical reflexion on pain, suffering an empathy as a measurement of our humanness.
