description: Poetry. Correspondence. Beginning in the fall of 1998, the poet Nada Gordon, then living in Tokyo, and poet/cartoonist Gary Sullivan, who'd moved to New York the previous year, began a daily correspondence that culminated in April of 1999 with Gordon's return to the U.S. after 11 years in Japan. Culled from more than 5,000 pages of e-mail, postcards and letters, SWOON is documentary, love story, poetry, collaborative essay and auto- (or duo-) biography all rolled into one. Written almost inadvertently, it documents the tenacity of love, and shows how it survives - with language as its host - even in inhospitable conditions.
