Publisher's Synopsis
Poetry. SOUVENIR DE CONSTANTINOPLE, Donna Stonecipher's second book, is "a seductively paced travelogue--both exotic and erotic--where traveler is lover and tourist, materialist and pilgrim, voyeur and poseur and where the self is bartered in exchange for a glimpse of otherness...[T]he impossible quest for self and other was never so luxurious--the letter home never more admirably adressed"-Martin Corless-Smith. Stonecipher is the author of The Reservoir, which won the 2002 University of Georgia Press Contemporary Poetry Series Competition.
