Overview

A career-spanning bouquet of poems by the peerless and inimitable Bernadette MayerMilkweed Smithereens gathers lively, wickedly smart, intimate, and indelible Bernadette Mayer poems: the volume ranges from brand-new nature poems, pastiches, sequences, epigrams, and excerpts from her Covid Diary and Second World of Nature to early poems and sonnets found in the attic or rooted out in the UC San Diego archive.

 in the winter? wrapped in bear skins
 we’ll sit around pot-bellied stoves eating
 the lobelias of fear left over from desperation,
 last summer’s woodland sunflowers and bee balm remind us of black
 cherries eaten in a hurry
 while the yard grows in the moonlight
 shrinking like a salary …
