Finalists

A double book by Pulitzer Prize winning poet Rae Armantrout What will we call the last generation before the looming end times? With Finalists Rae Armantrout suggests one option. Brilliant and irascible, playful and intense, Armantrout nails the current moment's debris fields and super computers, its sizzling malaise and confusion, with an exemplary immensity of heart and a boundless capacity for humor. The poems in this book find (and create) beauty in midst of the ongoing crisis.

CONTRAST

What's to like

if not contrast? Shadows beneath

the model's sharp cheekbones, her ample

yet precise lips. Clean lines separating

bounty

from its opposite. This is not

what I want to want. These eyes

on the hypothetical distance.
