FINALIST FOR THE 2021 PULITZER PRIZE FOR POETRY 2021 AMERICAN BOOK
AWARD WINNER "An undisputed literary event." -NPR "History-with its
construction and its destruction-is at the heart of In the Lateness
of the World. . . . In [it] one feels the poet cresting a wave-a
new wave that will crash onto new lands and unexplored
territories." -Hilton Als, The New Yorker Over four decades,
Carolyn Forche's visionary work has reinvigorated poetry's power to
awaken the reader. Her groundbreaking poems have been testimonies,
inquiries, and wonderments. They daringly map a territory where
poetry asserts our inexhaustible responsibility to one another. Her
first new collection in seventeen years, In the Lateness of the
World is a tenebrous book of crossings, of migrations across oceans
and borders but also between the present and the past, life and
death. The world here seems to be steadily vanishing, but in the
moments before the uncertain end, an illumination arrives and
"there is nothing that cannot be seen." In the Lateness of the
World is a revelation from one of the finest poets writing today.
