Selected by Louise Glück as Winner of the 2023 Changes Book Prize, Laura Newbern’s second collection is a work of burning, restrained urgency that looks at loss, isolation, the passage of time—and what endures despite. Written in a town that was once home to the world’s largest asylum, these poems are studies in the dual nature of that idea: asylum, always both a protection and an exile. The “country” of these poems is not, or not only, the idyllic backdrop of a pastoral scene; it is also, more ominously, the kind of country defined by a flag, dark borderland, and violent history. In other words: place of separation. Writing about the works of Bellini, Newbern shifts focus away from the paintings’ subjects and into the scenery where landscape is what constitutes the irreducible distance of the subjects from every other thing. “The Madonna of the Meadow cannot also be the Madonna not of the Meadow,” Glück writes in her foreword. “No one thing can be everything.” A Night in the Country is haunted by figures of loneliness who attend to their isolation with a spirit of religiosity, for them a necessary art. This is a quietly astonishing book about the ... Unknown localization key: "more"

The Hand of the Hand brings us to a future or an alternate universe in which earth, animal, and human intertwine—where stomachs have meadows, milk pours itself over trees, and flies wash the dead. Vazquez pulls deceptively simple, bare language into puzzling formations, creating an ambient unease. By turns lyrical and absurd, The Hand of the Hand explores the mystery and strangeness of what it means to be both speech and body, tongue and dirt.

Read the devastating story of the Spanish flu - the twentieth century''s greatest killer – and discover what it can teach us about the current Covid-19 pandemic.''Both a saga of tragedies and a detective story... Pale Rider is not just an excavation but a reimagining of the past'' Guardian With a death toll of between 50 and 100 million people and a global reach, the Spanish flu of 1918–1920 was the greatest human disaster, not only of the twentieth century, but possibly in all of recorded history. And yet, in our popular conception it exists largely as a footnote to World War I. In Pale Rider, Laura Spinney recounts the story of an overlooked pandemic, tracing it from Alaska to Brazil, from Persia to Spain, and from South Africa to Odessa. She shows how the pandemic was shaped by the interaction of a virus and the humans it encountered; and how this devastating natural experiment put both the ingenuity and the vulnerability of humans to the test. Laura Spinney demonstrates that the Spanish flu was as significant – if not more so – as two world wars in shaping the modern world; in disrupting, and often permanently altering, global politics, ...
