In Geography for the Lost, travelling poems speak from different parts of the world and different moments in time, but always of the many ways to be lost and disoriented: in a place, in the past, in fear, in the very quickness of life. 

The voices here – from a Roman housewife to a Chinese bar-owner in Berlin or an Argentine DJ – are of the heartsick, the culturally jet-lagged, people from photographs, the ‘tenants’ of lives, cities and destinies. This is what we all are, have been, or will be. Colourful, haunting, funny, bitter-sweet, the poems in Geography for the Lost mirror the restlessness of the human condition in Kassabova’s best book yet.

Inventive rhyme schemes, unusual and unexpected rhythms, even the odd joke: Geography for the Lost maintains all the moral seriousness of Kassabova’s earlier work but adds to it all this, and a sensuously detailed lyricism. – Dougal McNeill, NZ Books
