Book summary

Named for the mountain in Turkey where Noah's ark is said to reside, this collection of poems draws on Greek myth and Old Testament narrative to describe the modern family of the author. The emotional straining of her mother and father, the loss of a sibling, and the complexity of sentiment toward her son are resonant here with archetypal familiarity and power.
