MARIE HOWE ON NEW AND SELECTED POEMS

MARIE HOWE’s poetry transforms penetrating observations of everyday life into sacred, humane miracles. New and Selected Poems is an essential volume that draws from each of her four previous collections – including What the Living Do, a haunting archive of personal loss, and the National Book Award-longlistedMagdalene, a spiritual and sensual exploration of contemporary womanhood – and contains 20 new poems. Whether speaking in the voice of the goddess Persephone or musing on aging, Howe is “a light-bearer, an extraordinary poet of our human sorrow and ordinary joy” (Dorianne Laux). Moderated by poet DENISE DUHAMEL.
