Beskrivning
Following the collection that launched Milkweed’s acclaimed Multiverse series, Hannah Emerson’s Reality Reality Reality is a wholly original, electrifying work.In Hannah Emerson’s incomparable second collection, reality is material. Reality can be creased, dreamed, freed, and reeled; it can be greeted, billowed, treed, and tilled. This is a book of devotions: to freedom, to interconnection, and to words themselves. The poet wakes each word, one at a time, until they are collectively teeming with song, making evident that we cannot exhaust the magic of words—we can only deepen it, allowing reality to reveal all its bright and beaming layers. Yearning, heralding, reaching, and becoming, Emerson’s poetry inhabits the body, grounded in the feet and enlivened by breath, and familiar sounds transform into both everything and nothing. Concentrated and controlled, Reality Reality Reality moves like a river, like one cascading, incantatory prayer, and the meditative repetition of this carefully assembled lexicon offers a new way of experiencing words on their own and in relation to each other. She opens words into portals we can look through, words that “become universe yes yes yes.”

"Hannah Emerson’s poems situate themselves in the moment when nothing turned into everything. Hers is a lyric of singularity, an unfolding of possibility upon possibility. Reality Reality Reality features poems that look like unspooled DNA—long poems, often comprising of only a word or two per line. She speaks from and to the marrow of things, and her signature yes, yes, yes sets our universes spinning and calls the reader to respond in kind to the everything, the nothing, and the possibility of reality, with a chorus of yes."—Pádraig Ó Tuama, host of On Being’s Poetry Unbound "What a benediction to encounter Hannah Emerson's reveries of reality in all its rapturous strangeness, to be reminded that, amid the bewilderment of being alive, trembling with the question of why we are here, the only adequate answer is YES."—Maria Popova, creator of The Marginalian"Hannah Emerson’s second collection, Reality Reality Reality, is a sublime reminder of the sacred body and full of healing properties. Each poem reads like a first voice creating the world. Again and again, Emerson’s incantations place 'nothing' as a life-affirming giver of tree, hill, breath, kiss. I read it coming away with no excuses for despair. My new favorite book."—K. Iver, author of Short Film Starring My Beloved's Red Bronco
