This Poor Book: A Poem

內容簡介

內容簡介 Celebrated poet Fanny Howe's final book, a kaleidoscopic recasting of her twenty-first-century poems For decades, Fanny Howe has been our great poet of spirit and conscience, dislocation and bewilderment. In This Poor Book, completed just before her death, she has gathered a selection of poems and excerpts from the last thirty years, including new and revised poems, and has arranged them into an astonishing singular poem. Across this brilliant reconfiguration of her work, we follow the poet as seeker, both faithful and foolish, searching for language and existence beyond the machines of economy, judgment, and war. Howe interrogates the contradiction and violence of the twenty-first century, the misbegotten experiences that have given rise to a culture of authority and adulthood rather than one of innocence and childhood. ​These spare lyrical shards move with a jagged but persistent direction--leading us between doubt and belief and toward Howe's enduring vision for a life of humility, justice, and imagination.
