Claire-Louise Bennett’s novels have found a new language to evoke the often circular, abstracted nature of human consciousness.

Nobel Laureate Louise Glück’s Love Poem to Life at the Horizon of Death

A subtle, stunning serenade to the lifelong hunger for self-love and self-forgiveness.

On the short list of my favorite Ashbery poems. He must really have been riding some high when he got to those lines about the segments of the orange.

Anne Carson, with one of my all-time favorite opening lines and one of my all-time favorite closing lines.
O Small Sad Ecstasy of Love Anne Carson I like being with you all night with closed eyes. What luck—here you are coming along the stars! I did a road trip all over my mind and heart and there you were kneeling by the roadside with your little toolkit fixing something. Give me a world, you have taken the world I was.
