Registration is required in advance. About After the Operation . .Elizabeth T. Gray Jr.’s After the Operation reports from the No Man’s Land she wandered following eight hours of surgery to remove a brain tumor. What does the mind feel like after something has been taken out of your skull? “An uninhabited coast,” or “all shatter and thoroughfare?” These spare poems interweave medical documents, journal entries, and memories, assembling a polyvocal chorus to document the surgery itself and the recuperation process. The decentralized perspective of After the Operation allows the reader to see the procedure holistically—medically, from the doctor’s perspective; subjectively, from the author’s; and vicariously, from her caretakers’, family’s, and friends’—while approximating the disassociation the patient feels as she navigates unexpected cognitive and emotional side effects. Sometimes bleak but always gorgeous, After the Operation does us a great service in illuminating and articulating the complexities of a serious medical event. This tangible chronicle of Gray’s terror, isolation, bafflement, desolation, love, loss, relief and gratitude serves as a beacon for all of us who will one day, as Susan Sontag says, find ourselves dwelling in “the kingdom of the sick.” Gray makes valiant use of her citizenship there, asking, “When they come for you, when the unfamiliar roar comes, and a sudden opening, and light pours in, when what had kept you safe, what had always been, is breached, pried open, and light pours in, what do you want to have been writing then?” After the Operation is her triumphant answer. Elizabeth T. Gray, Jr. is a poet, translator, critic, and corporate consultant. Previous collections of poetry include Salient (New Directions, 2020) and Series | India (Four Way Books, 2015).

놀라운 해산물과 즐거운 분위기! 샌프란시스코를 떠올리게 해요. 가장 좋은 부분은 거리 공연자들을 보는 것이었어요! Motley Cr&uuml;의 Dr. Feel good에 맞춰 드럼을 치는 여성을 만났는데 정말 멋졌어요! 해산물 상인 4명과 함께 오이스터 슈터를 먹었고, 맛있는 훈제 연어를 샀어요. 거리를 걷다가 따뜻한 초콜릿 칩 쿠키 위에 얇게 썬 바다 소금을 얹은 곳을 우연히 발견했어요. 맛있었어요! 마지막으로 터키식 런 매장이 있었는데, 그 여성이 선물에 대한 훌륭한 조언을 해주었고 제가 먹어본 바클라바 중 가장 맛있는 것을 줬어요.
