The internationally acclaimed author presents her first collection of poetry in over a decade that addresses themes such as love, loss, the passage of time, nature, and zombies.

Es una obra cumbre de la poesía moderna. Sus composiciones rompen con el estilo convencional, en uso hasta entonces, y rejuvenecen la estructura del verso mediante el uso regular de encabalgamientos, rechazos y contrarrechazos. Esto renueva la forma rígida del soneto. Utiliza imágenes sugestivas mediante asociaciones a menudo inéditas, tales como el "Ángel cruel que azota los soles" (Le Voyage). Mezcla el lenguaje erudito con el discurso cotidiano....

"Bob Hicok?s tenth collection of poetry, Hold, moves nimbly between childlike revelry and serious introspection. While confronting the rampant hypocrisies of the American collective unconscious, Hicok is guided by his deep and tender sense of whimsy and humility. Pointing to the natural world as a mirror through which to rediscover human beauty, he pauses to unapologetically celebrate the wonder of living at all."--Amazon.com.

"We lived overlooking the walls overlooking the cemetery." So begins the title poem of this collection, whose recursive temporality is filled with living, grieving things, punctuated by an unseen world of roots, bodies, and concealed histories. Like a cemetery, too, The Milk Hours sets unlikely neighbors alongside each other: Hegel and Murakami, Melville and the Persian astronomer al-Sufi, enacting a transhistorical poetics even as it brims with intimacy....

A microscopic and intense view of the sometimes invisible and ignored parts of the world we inhabit. Peering into cities and our place within them, the poet searches for meaning after the death of his father, and observes the flora and fauna, which provide beauty and nourish us. This book delights the senses and poses the question, are we contributing to, or ultimately destroying our planet?

"A British poet's debut collection, winner of the 2018 T.S. Eliot Prize for poetry"--

A rat climbs onto the desk of a bored office worker. A family dog never stops coming back to life. Every prisoner on earth is freed. A man becomes friends with a bank robber who abducts him. A baby is born transparent. James Tate's work, filled with unexpected turns and deadpan exaggeration, 'fanciful and grave, mundane and transcendent' (New York Times), has been among the most defining and significant of our time. In his last collection, written...

Jackson Holbert's Winter Stranger is a solemn record of addiction and the divided affections we hold for the landscapes that shape us. In the cold, seminal countryside of eastern Washington, a boy puts a bullet through his skull in a high school parking lot. An uncle crushes oxycodone into "a thousand red granules." Hawks wheel above a dark, indifferent river. "I left that town / forever," Holbert writes, but its bruises appear everywhere, in dreams...
