Synopsis
The poems in this highly anticipated second book are elegiac poems, as concerned with honoring our dead as they are with praising the living. Through Aracelis Girmay's lens, everything is animal: the sea, a jukebox, the desert. In these poems, everything possesses a system of desire, hunger, a set of teeth, and language. These are poems about what is both difficult and beautiful about our time here on earth. Aracelis Girmay 's debut collection won the Great Lakes Colleges Association New Writers Award. A Cave Canem Fellow, she is on the faculty at Drew University and Hampshire College. She lives in Brooklyn, New York.

- 8***r (168)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseExactly as described. Extremely quick delivery. Packaged very well. Great seller and value!! Highly recommend
- 9***k (1218)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseUnfortunately the seller decided to ship the item in a padded envelope. An inexpensive stiff cardboard envelope would have been far more adequate. Item arrived with unsightly creases almost everywhere, very different from the ad picture. Item condition was rated very good. I would rate what arrived as fair. Given the result, the eBay GSP shipping fee of US $21.91 is inadequate but in my opinion that is the seller's fault. Not seeking a refund. Definitely not recommended.Tragedy September 11 2001 Special Memorial Edition, Editorial Staff, NYC Pub. (#226371919134)
