Columbarium

Susan Stewart · 2003 CE · Poem · Modern / American · Contemporary

Poems arranged around four elegies, with a sequence of alphabetically ordered pieces the poet calls shadow georgics, thinking about the dead, the garden and the rooms that hold memory. The learning is considerable and worn lightly. A lyric collection in which formal arrangement matters as much as narrative.
