Bøger i National Poetry Series serien

National Poetry Series winner makes compelling poetry from the tumultuous life of blues singer Leadbelly.

Featuring poems inhabited by Charles Darwin and climate scientists, Beethoven and Elliott Smith, this title helps you find a way to navigate the beauty and fears native to modern life. It explores various types of damage with which humans are so closely entwined, from our encroachment on nature, to our propensity to give in to our worst impulses.

A collection of poems by the author who is the recipient of a 1994 Whiting Writers' Award and also the author of "Turtle, Swan" and "Bethlehem in Broad Daylight".

A collection of poems which turn on a dime from the sensual to the eerie, the resigned to the hopeful, the comforting to the shocking. It weaves together layers of dream, remembrance, and fantasy, distilling from romantic excess a gritty, spare language of truth-telling and surprise.

Presents the poems that are rooted in the fertile soil beneath poverty's dust, the border's violence, and longing's desolation.

Selected by Sandra McPherson for the 1996 "National Poetry Series".

Alice Fulton's writing has been characterized by The New Yorker as "electrifying," and the poet herself, according to Publishers Weekly, "may be Dickinson's postmodern heir."
