A vibrant new collection from one of America's most talented young
poets
"Every Riven Thing" is Christian Wiman's first collection in
seven years, and rarely has a book of poetry so borne the stamp of
necessity. Whether in stark, haiku-like descriptions of a cancer
ward, surrealistic depictions of a social order coming apart, or
fluent, defiant outpourings of praise, Wiman pushes his language
and forms until they break open, revealing startling new truths
within. The poems are joyful and sorrowful at the same time,
abrasive and beautiful, densely physical and credibly mystical.
They attest to the human hunger to feel existence, even at its most
harrowing, and the power of art to make our most intense
experiences not only apprehensible but transfiguring.
