No Surrender

A searing new collection from a master of the poetic monologue. A disillusioned Irish nun moves to America, meets Elvis, and rediscovers her faith. An amputee goes on a strange journey during a hurricane. Each of the speakers in Ai's daring new collection has a uniquely American story to tell, and each is told with the poet's characteristic dark humour and ambition.

"Smart, funny, angry, political, and utterly poetic . . . both haunting and humorous." The Rumpus
