Carl Dennis
A timely new collection that sounds themes about the fragility of life and our duty to respect the planet in a time of climate change, from the Pulitzer Prize-winning poet who work begins in delight and ends in wisdom (Carrie Fountain)
The work of Carl Dennis has won praise for its integrity, its substance, and its seemingly effortless craft; and for its embodiment of passionate inquiry (Times Literary Supplement). The title of his new collection, Earthborn, helps to point the way to its two central concerns- how to find meaning, as creatures of the earth, in lives that are short and frail and destined to be forgotten; and how, as stewards of the earth, to address the need to protect our home from ourselves, from the menace to life posed by our own species. The book succeeds in braiding together a recognition of our limits and of our responsibilities in ways that are deeply moving and revealing.
