Related Items Poetry Arts | Through contemplative lyrics, historical narratives and edgy prose poems, this collection of poetry
probes the intersections of self and other, private and public, and the individual and community. The title,
Where We Start, is a fitting description for the many ways these poems explore the beginnings
of and in a life, including cultural identity, childhood experiences, and a new marriage. Gingerich's poetry has been strongly influenced by her experiences as part of a Mennonite community and explores the tensions between individual identity and community loyalty. This tension has been expanded as she also creatively investigates her husband's unique and difficult upbringing in the former Yugoslavia where community loyalty turned into war. These poems stay true to their complex questioning. With a sense of paradox and wit, a willingness to explore the poem's surprising turns and defer comfort, Gingerich builds an impressive collection of poetry that is urgent and compelling to any reader willing to explore the dark corners and sharp turns of any life's migration.
