Description
How to Fall, from Cape Cod to Cornwall, is the art of defying the gravity of loss. Chance encounters hint at the darker side of relationships. The present carries with it the weight of the unspoken past. And throughout these urgent narratives there is a voice you can trust, and a world wide and generous enough for starting again. Here are sensuous poems that celebrate the transience of the moment.“Karen Annesen’s How to Fall is going to be a real event. Annesen is one of those poets whose cumulative effect is greater than that of any individual poem. There’s a stillness and intensity about her language that reminds me of Louise Gluck, which from a rabid Gluck fangirl is high praise, and I love the way some of her poems clearly have an immense back-story which is never spelt out but adds ominous heft and depth to what we do see.” —Sheenagh Pugh
