Winner of the PEN Literary Award for Poetry, includes selections from each of Dubie’s 17 previous volumes. Whether illuminating a common laborer or a legendary thinker, Dubie meets his subjects with utter compassion for their humanity and the dignity behind their creative work. In pursuit of the well-told story, his love of history is ever-present—though often he recreates his own. “With its restoration of so many out-of-print poems and its addition of new works, was one of last year’s most significant publications.” — “The voices of Dubie’s monologues are full of astonishing intimacy.” —
