Cityscapes, a poetry collection by Rebecca Ruth Gould
My new poetry collection has been released!
Publisher’s overview: “Traversing the urban geographies of the Middle East, South Asia, and Europe, Cityscapes offers searing and intimate portraits of Damascus, Yerevan, Hyderabad, Delhi, Isfahan, and many other cities through the lens of war, peace, love, and despair. The collection opens with poems about the cosmos, before moving to earthly topographies, and concludes in a series of still lives chronicling urban spaces. Gould combines the insight of a long-time resident of the geographies she describes with a poetic gift for generalizing her personal experience.”

SPECIAL FEATURES: Includes original photography of Palestine (Gaza and the West Bank), India, and Armenia by Kate Gould.
READ MORE: Poems in this collection have previously appeared in Glass: A Journal of Poetry, South Bank Poetry, Chiron Review, Dream Noir, TIMBER, The Healing Muse, Ink, Sweat & Tears, and Otoliths.

The collection can be purchased here in the UK and here in the US. Also see the press release by Third Wednesday.
