Erica Hunt’s latest book of poetry is Jump the Clock: New and Selected Poems—“an invaluable gathering of the pioneering poet’s oeuvre, and a treasure of lyric and analytic revelations and delights,” wrote John Keene. “Hunt expands poetry’s range and power and shows how to make the illegible legible.”
Solmaz Sharif’s new collection is Customs. “Solmaz Sharif’s poems marry an exquisite lyric sensibility to a profound social conscience, and in so doing they urge a renewed sensitivity to the private costs of public conflict,” wrote Tracy K. Smith. “They are also beautifully and inventively crafted, never letting readers forget that what is at stake begins in language.”
