New And Selected Poems

2024

by Marie Howe

New and Selected Poems is an indispensable collection that spans 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," as noted by Matthew Zapruder in the New York Times Magazine, Howe's poetry effortlessly transforms penetrating observations of everyday life into sacred, humane miracles.

This essential volume draws from each of Howe's four previous collections—including What the Living Do (1997), a haunting archive of personal loss, and the National Book Award–longlisted Magdalene (2017), a spiritual and sensual exploration of contemporary womanhood—and contains more than fifteen new poems. Whether speaking in the voice of the goddess Persephone or contemplating aging while walking the dog, Howe is hailed as "a light-bearer, an extraordinary poet of our human sorrow and ordinary joy" by Dorianne Laux.

You Are Here

You Are Here: Poetry In The Natural World, edited by the twenty-fourth Poet Laureate of the United States, Ada Limón, is a singular collection of poems that reflects on our relationship to the natural world. This book brings together fifty previously unpublished poems from some of the nation's most accomplished poets, including Joy Harjo, Diane Seuss, Rigoberto González, Jericho Brown, Aimee Nezhukumatathil, Paul Tran, and more.

Contrary to the traditional images evoked by "nature poetry," this collection presents an updated and vibrant perspective. Each poem interacts with the author's local landscape, whether it's the vast array of flora in a national park or a resilient tree blooming by a bus stop. These works offer an intimate model of how we relate to the world around us.

Through a beautifully diverse range of voices from across the United States, You Are Here challenges our preconceptions about nature and poetry. The collection is both joyful and provocative, wondrous and urgent, offering a lyrical reimagining of what "nature" and "poetry" signify in the current era, and inviting readers to experience both in a fresh, new light.
