Sixty Odd is Ursula K. Le Guin's fifth collection of poems. At turns wry, playful, and sharply critical, Le Guin eloquently explores themes ranging from finely observed details of her day-to-day life, to moving philosophical reflections on her childhood and growing older. Taken as a whole, the collection embodies the heart of Le Guin's best work: writing that is full of insight, humor, and genuine wisdom. Here is the first new book of poems in more...

An excerpt from the poem, Wild Gratitude:
"Tonight when I knelt down next to our cat, Zooey,
And put my fingers into her clean cat's mouth,
And rubbed her swollen belly that will never know kittens,
And watched her wriggle onto her side, pawing the air,
And listened to her solemn little squeals of delight,
I was thinking about the poet, Christopher Smart,
Who wanted to kneel down and pray without ceasing

Now, with Goldenrod, the award-winning poet returns with a powerful collection of poems that look at parenthood, solitude, love, and memory.

"Clever, capricious poems grounded in the very matter of life: loving, losing, and persisting Andrea Cohen's Everything approaches the idea of the macro through an elastic inquiry of the micro. In a poem entitled "Dust," the speaker posits " We funnel it between the stones./ What stones become is what/ holds them together." The collection examines logic through analogy; for example, if everything is formed of anything, then isn't absence a product...

A new poetry collection from Pulitzer and T. S. Eliot Prize winner Sharon Olds. "At the time of have-not, I look at myself in this mirror," writes Olds in this self-scouring, exhilarating volume, which opens with a section of quarantine poems, and at its center boasts what she calls Amherst Balladz (whose syntax honors Emily Dickinson: "she was our Girl - our Woman - / Man enough - for me") and many more in her own contemporary, long-flowing-sentence...

Sometimes the scale is intimate, quiet, and sometimes the poems are sweeping, Orphic experiments in the animation of our common world. Written over a span of fifteen years, The Lights registers the pleasures, risks, and absurdities of making art and family and meaning against a backdrop...

In All Souls, Saskia Hamilton transforms compassion, fear, expectation, and memory into art of the highest order. The poems and lyric fragments make an inventory of truths that carries us through the night's reckoning with mortal hope into daylight. But even daylight--with its escapements and unbreakable numbers, "restless / irregular light and shadow, awakened"--can't appease the crisis of survival at the heart of this collection. Vibrating with...
