'Wise, beguiling... a treasure and a beacon of a poet, whose indispensable body of work offers no less than a way to navigate this world' Sarah HoweA career-defining collection from the 25th Poet Laureate of the United StatesFor the past five decades, Arthur Sze has been a major force in American letters. Deeply influenced by Classical Chinese poetry, as well as the interplay between philosophy and science, Sze’s luminous verse is attuned to the intricate connections in the natural world and our place within it. This volume brings together ten of Sze’s collections for the first time in the UK, including Compass Rose (shortlisted for the Pulitzer Prize) and Sight Lines (winner of the National Book Award), as well as twenty-six new poems. This career-defining work is a rare invitation to chart the evolution of one of our finest living poets.
