Will Schutt is the 2012 winner of the Yale Series of Younger Poets
Competition A young soldier dons Napoleon's hat. An out-of-work man
wanders Berlin, dreaming he is Peter the Great. The famous exile
Dante finally returns to his native city to "hang his crown of
laurels up." Familial and historical apparitions haunt this
dazzling collection of poems by Will Schutt, the 2012 recipient of
the prestigious Yale Series of Younger Poets award. Coupled with
Schutt's own voice are the voices of some of Italy's most prominent
nineteenth- and twentieth-century poets including Giacomo Leopardi,
Alda Merini, Eugenio Montale, and Edoardo Sanguineti. Subtle,
discerning, restrained, the poems in Westerly probe a vast
emotional geography, with its contingent pleasures and pains,
"where the door's always dark, the sky still blue." ...some narrow
sickness buried you. Whatever boyhood I had fate hijacked too. Old
friend, is this that world we stayed awake all night for? Truth
dropped in. Far off, your cool hand points the way.
