Liza Katz Duncan's debut collection, Given, delves into the intricate and often unpredictable nature of life, exploring the themes of home, family, and personal and ecological loss. Through vivid and evocative language, Duncan creates a vivid portrait of her home, the New Jersey Shore, capturing its beauty and its devastation. The poems also delve into the devastating effects of Superstorm Sandy and the ongoing impacts of climate change on the landscape and its community.
Interwoven throughout the collection is the narrator's miscarriage, which serves as a powerful metaphor for the personal and collective tragedies that can befall us. The parallels between the desecrated landscape and the personal catastrophe add depth and tenderness to the collection, as Duncan urges us to remember and witness the pain and loss that have shaped our world.
Despite the weight of tragedy and loss, Given is imbued with a persistent and unwavering hope. Duncan shows us how survival persists amidst the wreckage, and from this debris, we can find a path towards healing and growth. The collection's title, Given, suggests a sense of offering and generosity, as Duncan shares her words with the reader and invites them to embrace the complexities and uncertainties of life.
Given was awarded the 2022 Autumn House Rising Writer Prize in Poetry, recognizing its powerful and poignant exploration of the human experience. This collection is a testament to Duncan's talent as a poet and her ability to capture the essence of life's complexities with honesty, tenderness, and hope.
