Stalin in Aruba
Winner of the Towson Prize for Literature
A hybrid of poetry and historical fiction that explores who gets cropped out off, or spliced back into, the past.
"Deeply political and deeply personal, Stalin in Aruba is a startling debut...Puhak has me hooked. This is a poet to keep your eye on!" - Julianna Bagott
“Shelley Puhak’s stunning first book of poems is not so much a voyage but a zigzagging from one strange and fascinating port to another: Hitler’s lovers, lady laudanum drinkers, a high-school Proteus...and a cemetery of life stories.” - John Surowiecki
