520 0 |a An indispensable collection of more than three 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<U+2015> including What the Living Do (1997), a haunting archive of personal loss, and the National Book Award<U+2013>longlisted Magdalene (2017), a spiritual and sensual exploration of contemporary womanhood<U+2015>and contains more than fifteen 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).
