This volume of the Yale Series of Younger Poets explores love,
grief, the opioid epidemic, and coming of age  “Elegiac
and witty.”—Elisa Gabbert, New York Times, “The Best Poetry
of 2022”  “These poems name the hurt wrought upon the
meek that makes the elegy, here, as much an exaltation of the
living as a mournful dirge for the land.”—Major Jackson,
Vanderbilt University  The 116th volume of the Yale Series
of Younger Poets, Robert Wood Lynn’s collection of poems explores
the tensions of youth and the saturation points of knowledge: those
moments when the acquisition of understanding overlaps with regret
and becomes a desire to know less. Comprising poems of place set
across the Virginias, this collection includes an episodic elegy
exploring the opioid crisis in the Shenandoah Valley as well as a
separate series of persona poems reimagining the Mothman (West
Virginia’s famed cryptid) reluctantly coming of age in that
state’s mountains and struggling with the utility of warnings.
These are narrative poems of love and grief, built from a
storytelling tradition. Taken together they form an arc
encompassing the experience of growing up, looking away, and
looking back.
