Works and Days

A brand spanking new collection, Works and Days is classic Bernadette Mayer: fresh, learned, exciting, and endlessly surprising
Part springtime journal (â€œwhy are there thorns?â€), Works and Days meditates on the first wasps and chipmunks of the season, timesâ€™ passage, grackle hearts, and dandelions, while also collecting dozens of poems considering the Catholic Church, Sir Thomas Browne, â€œGo Awayâ€ welcome mats, books, floods (â€œnever of dollar moneyâ€), the invention of words, local politics, friendships, property development, dogs, and Hesiod. Every page delights. As the poet herself notes: â€œMy name is Bernadette Mayer, sometimes / I am at the head of my class.â€
