PIMONE TRIPLETT
With candor and intelligence, Pimone Triplett’s third collection, Rumor ($15.95 Northwestern) illuminates the intersection of the political and the intimate, the personal and the global. The sometimes fractured, sometimes formal poems address a challenged and challenging world (particularly her mother’s native Thailand) and the effort to bring a child into it; they are testimony and plea -- "Dear born-to, / skin of my skin, do what you can // with your turn -- speak the world, let it go."
