Infos

Characterized by "e;a radical simplicity and seriousness of purpose, along with a fearless interest in autobiography and its tragedies and redemptions"e; (Matthew Zapruder, New York Times Magazine), Marie Howe's poetry transforms penetrating observations of everyday life into sacred, humane miracles. This essential volume draws from each of Howe's four previous collections-including What the Living Do (1997), a haunting archive of personal loss, and the National Book Award-longlisted Magdalene (2017), a spiritual and sensual exploration of contemporary womanhood-and contains twenty new poems. Whether speaking in the voice of the goddess Persephone or thinking about aging while walking the dog, Howe is "e;a light-bearer, an extraordinary poet of our human sorrow and ordinary joy"e; (Dorianne Laux).
