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.
