THE WISHING TOMB
by Amanda Auchter
Winner of the 2012 Perugia Press Prize, Amanda Auchter finds the moments in a long history that magnify images of strangeness, irony, and wonder, and creates a lush, present, and morally serious whole.

What brings you back is
not the ruin
of mosquito fever, flood, the history
of bodies hung by the neck in trees,
but how the river collects daylight, the sound
of trumpets in late afternoon.
(from "The City That Care Forgot")
