Description
Poetry. Winner of the 2017 Marsh Hawk Press Poetry Prize. "Sometimes time is the subject, sometimes materiality as these poems point us toward the strangeness at the heart of being. We are swept away, almost in spite of ourselves, by the hypnotic precision of language. The long opening sequence 'The Blue Hill' stuns and delights. It veers through twists and turns of utterly simple phrases into its own incandescent music."—Meena Alexander
