This Is How You Lose Her and Other Poems | A.D. Capili
This is How You Lose Her and Other Poems brings together in one volume all the poems in A.D. Capili’s two poetry collections, Against My Ruins and The Way I Wait for You, plus five new unpublished poems.
The poems in this collection touch upon themes of living in a foreign land, being a parent, everyday shortcomings, the difficulty of saying goodbye, longing for lost love, and of appreciating signs of hope and belonging.
A.D. Capili draws upon his experiences living as a foreign student, then as an expat, in Europe. He writes in a language that is simultaneously urgent and thought-provoking, as well as accessible. While the poems are rooted in intensely personal experiences, the emotions and imagery they evoke will be familiar to lovers of poetry.
A number of poems in this collection first appeared in literary publications like Little Fish, DoubleSpeak, Pena, Ley Lines, and Amaranth.
