In his eighth collection of poetry, Arthur Sze evokes quipu as both title and unifying metaphor. Composed of dyed, spun, and knotted cords, a quipu is a device created by the Inca as a tactile system of record keeping, calculation, and, possibly, narratives. In Quipu, Sze knots and strings together vibrant poems that move across cultures and times as agilely as they navigate tone and texture.
