In this moving, playful and deeply philosophical volume, Gregory
Orr seeks innovative ways for the imagination to respond to and
create meaning out of painful experiences, while at the same time
rejoicing in love and language. A passionate exploration of the
forces that shape us, The Last Love Poem I Will Ever Write explores
themes of survival and the powerlessness of the self in a chaotic
and unfair world, finding hope in the emotions and vitality of
poetry. With characteristic meditative lyricism, the poet reflects
on grief and the power of language in extended odes ("Ode to
Nothing", "Ode to Words") and slips effortlessly from personal
trauma ("Song of What Happens") to public catastrophe
("Charlottesville Elegy"). The Last Love Poem I Will Ever Write
confirms Orr's place among the preeminent lyric poets of his
generation, engaging the deepest existential issues with wisdom and
humour and transforming them into celebratory song.
