Featuring sonnets, sestinas, villanelles, and translations from Old English, this compilation by Dutch poet Chris McCully spans 16 years of his work. A meditation on extinction, this supple, sparing verse celebrates the fragile place in which we live as it reveals the author s engagement with language and the poetic form. Inspired in part by Anglo Saxon elegy, this rich and unique collectiontouches upon themes such as civility, memory, friendship, art, and literature."
