Sir (Paperback)

Who is Sir? A pivot of language for an old man with a life of curious stories; a ghost, a mirage, a woman in Turkey. And a slice of the contemporary with its sickness, aging, death, its wars, and commodities. HR Hegnauer has created an epistolary identity of engaged and hybridized increments from her own youthful living and details of others and their entwined poetries and presences. It is a highly performative text of depth, mind grammar, and beautiful gesture, inhabited by vivid characters and voices that change and charge the room. Bravo!- Anne Waldman
