Debths

Winner of the Griffin International Poetry PrizeA collection in five parts, Susan Howes electrifying new book opens with a preface by the poet that lays out some of Debths inspirations: the art of Paul Thek, the Isabella Stewart Gardner collection, and early American writings; and in it she also addresses memorys threads and galaxies, the rule of remoteness, and the luminous story surrounding all things noumenal.Following the preface are four sections of poetry: Titian Air Vent, Tom Tit Tot (her newest collage poems), Periscope, and Debths. As always with Howe, Debths brings a not-being-in-the-no.
