Inspired by the tense, localized melancholy and the resigned yet enduring love in Breece D'J Pancake's short stories, "Country Song (Memory of Rain)" blurs the boundary between places and people to tell of romance that weaves together desire and violence, memory and haunting.

"Patty Crane on Translation and Influence"
"Somewhere along the way, my immersion in Tranströmer and my search for a sense of place merged. As if the poetry became the place, and the place the poetry. I can’t separate this fusion of translation and place from my own writing because I was carrying that around in my head, too."
