Ziggurat
The University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 9780226035642 Will publish September 2010
In his new book Ziggurat, Peter Balakian continues to define himself as one of the most distinctive voices of his generation. Exploring history, self, and imagination, as well as his ongoing concerns with catastrophe and trauma, many of Balakian's new poems wrestle with the aftermath and reverberations of 9 /11.
