â[This book] makes a concise case for Howe's status as an essential poet.â âCraig Morgan Teicher, NPR
An indispensable collection of more than four decades of profound, luminous poetry from acclaimed poet Marie Howe.
Characterized by âa radical simplicity and seriousness of purpose, along with a fearless interest in autobiography and its tragedies and redemptionsâ (Matthew Zapruder, New York Times Magazine), Marie Howeâs poetry transforms penetrating observations of everyday life into sacred, humane miracles. This essential volume draws from each of Howeâs four previous collectionsâincluding What the Living Do (1997), a haunting archive of personal loss, and the National Book Awardâlonglisted Magdalene (2017), a spiritual and sensual exploration of contemporary womanhoodâand contains twenty new poems. Whether speaking in the voice of the goddess Persephone or thinking about aging while walking the dog, Howe is âa light-bearer, an extraordinary poet of our human sorrow and ordinary joyâ (Dorianne Laux).
