Into the Hush
Autor Arthur Szeen Limba Engleză Paperback – 8 iun 2027
Now available in paperback, 25th US Poet Laureate Arthur Sze’s visionary collection invites readers into moments of profound attention, where language becomes a way of listening to the living world.
Like wind on a lake, Arthur Sze’s twelfth book of poetry, Into the Hush, extends a language that ripples and stills, widens and deepens. Through an earned and profound simplicity, these poems move with imaginative power and emotional force, gathering a startling array of contrasts—from wildfires and gunshots to a sprig of sunrise—to address the challenges of our nuclear age. Sze reveals the exigencies of climate change using a range of innovative forms, including shadow sonnets, pantoums, and a segmented zuihitsu, where a jaguar, an eraser, and even aspen leaves speak. Written at the height of Sze’s powers, Into the Hush is a landmark publication, enacting a thrilling journey from silence into sound, from emptiness into the rich panoply of existence.
