One of NPR’s “Books We Love in 2024” and a
California Review of Books
Best Poetry of the Year Winner of the American Academy of Arts and Letters Award in Literature “[This book] makes a concise case for Howe's status as an essential poet.” —Craig Morgan Teicher, NPR An indispensable collection of more than four decades of profound, luminous poetry from acclaimed poet Marie Howe.
Characterized by “a radical simplicity and seriousness of purpose, along with a fearless interest in autobiography and its tragedies and redemptions” (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 “a light-bearer, an extraordinary poet of our human sorrow and ordinary joy” (Dorianne Laux).
