We’re thrilled to share that our March Book Club selection is Litany for the Long Moment (Essay Press, May 2018), the debut book from Rumpus advisory board member and former Essays Editor Mary-Kim Arnold!
The orphan at the center of Litany for the Long Moment is without homeland and without language. In an extended lyric essay, Mary-Kim Arnold attempts to claim her own linguistic, cultural, and aesthetic lineage. Arnold explores the interconnectedness of language and identity through the lens of migration and cultural rupture.
