Probing life's fragments through varied poetic forms.

If you appreciate poetry that grapples with the essence of modern existence, then 3 Sections by Vijay Seshadri will speak to you.

Description

The winner of the 2014 Pulitzer Prize in Poetry, now in paperback. First I had three apocalyptic visions, each more terrible than the last. The graves open, and the sea rises to kill us all. Then the doorbell rang, and I went downstairs and signed for two packages. In an array of poetic forms from the rhyming lyric to the philosophical meditation to the prose essay, 3 Sections confronts perplexing divisions of contemporary life―a wayward history, an indeterminate future, and a perpetual longing to out-think time. This is a vital book by one of America's best poets.
