Featured Work
The Amoeba Game
On a journey that begins in South Florida and ends up in Romania, the country of her family's forgotten history, Tara Skurtu plays 'the amoeba game,' a game that has no rules. With subtle and serious humor, with the vivid spontaneity of memory and dreams, and with surgical precision, these compelling, mysterious poems hold up a lens that reveals the slippery and changing dimensions of our many selves.
