Description

As the measured compositions of these poems shift, so do their near-sculptural forms, and a feeling both classical and contemporary develops as a result. At times a paean to poetry, other times a critique of it, EARTH is a breakthrough collection by a poet whose ceaselessly sharp intellect continues to use poetry to gain insight into not only her own wants and needs, but ours, and those of poetry itself.

Hannah Brooks-Motl is the author of the poetry collections THE NEW YEARS (Rescue Press, 2014), M (The Song Cave, 2015), and EARTH (The Song Cave, 2019). Her poems and essays have appeared in the Best American Experimental Writing, the Cambridge Literary Review, the Chicago Review, Modernism/modernity, Tupelo Quarterly, among other places. She lives in western Massachusetts.
