Prisoner's Dilemma

Author Amelia Hang expresses the poignancy of love and loss in Prisoner's Dilemma, a touching collection of poetry. The bittersweet exhortations of a rejected lover to the man who has turned away evoke that exquisite agony only felt by the very young. The author remembers her late father in lyrically haunting poems of longing and regret. Often Ms. Hang represents herself as a small figure against vast images of sky and sea, overwhelmed by the largeness of the world and the difficulty of finding her place in it. At once youthful and wise, these finely wrought poems leave a lasting impression. -Rutledge Books
