Description

Building on the impressive debut of Good Luck, this new collection from Anna Livesey contains poems that capture the eerie and exhilarating aspects of daily life. All the poems combine a crisp and shapely style with breathtaking openness and urgency in addressing personal material, particularly in the poet's responses to her mother’s illness and her thoughts about living in the United States.
