This debut collection explores memory, cities, motion. Tung-Hui Hu''s tone has some of the swampy wit that recalls Calvino or Michaux: A man swaps bodies with his lover; a mapmaker holds captive a city, which needs his crystal telescope to navigate through streets "unreadable as palm lines"; a car pushed off a cliff in a fit of anger becomes home for a school of fish. Anchored by the sequence "Elegies for self," Hu''s poetry brings a quiet sophistication to syntax, diction, and form.
