In We Contain Landscapes, Patrycja Humienik illuminates to us the sticky insides of longing, and the crisis of returning to ourselves in the process of returning home. This collection speaks to the heart of the immigrant daughter, and the daughter responds: yes i speak to you / in sweat.--Camonghne Felix, author of Dyscalculia In Patrycja Humienik's book, We Contain Landscapes, there is strangeness around every corner--the speaker 'argues like a window, ' a 'head is full of fragments, ' or how the 'digital leaves teeth marks on my thinking.' Here are intensely beautiful poems that arrange perception and then rearrange it, in the way that identity and memory do.--Victoria Chang, author of With My Back to the World
