The Wilderness: Poems

The Wilderness: Poems

From the winner of the 2013 Barnard Women Poets Prize, chosen by Louise GlÃ¼ck, a daring and exuberant new collection.
Moving through myths of the American landscape, the fatalism of American Puritanism, family history, New England winters, aesthetic theory, and the suavities and anxieties of contemporary life, the poems in this astonishing collection ultimately speak about the individual soulâ€™s struggle with its own meaning. â€œIn its stern and quiet way Sandra Limâ€™s The Wilderness is one of the most thrilling books of poetry I have read in many yearsâ€ (Louise GlÃ¼ck).
From â€œAubadeâ€
From the last stars to sunrise the world is dark and enduring
and emptiness has its place.

Then, to wake each day to the worldâ€™s unwavering
limits, you have to think about passion differently, again.
