In \u003ci\u003eDandelions in Third Space\u003c\/i\u003e, Edytta Wojnar describes her own experiences with this third space she created for herself after emigrating from Poland, which resulted in the loss of language and family. Within this collection of 70 poems, many explore acculturation, investigating what it means to be an immigrant, what it means to be a writer who has lost a language. Expanding the metaphorical concept of third space to marriage, Wojnar describes the continual translation and adoption that occurs between two people’s backgrounds and psychological traits. Wojnar doesn’t shy away from any topic, describing her experiences as an immigrant, a wife, and a mother with refreshing, sometimes brutal, honesty.\u003cbr\u003e“My Mother’s Necklace”, \u003ci\u003eDandelions in Third Space \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e“I left my home country \u0026amp; learned\u003cbr\u003ea lie can be true—\u003cbr\u003elife can be wasted\u003cbr\u003e\u0026amp; there is a metaphor for every loss—\u003cbr\u003eeven language.” \u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Stephen F.
