Heavenly Questions

By Schnackenberg, Gjertrud

Publishers Summary:
Heavenly Questions, the first new collection of poems from Gjertrud Schnackenberg since the critically acclaimed The Throne of Labdacus (FSG, 2001), is a love poem that finds her at the height of her talents and showcases her continued growth as an artist. In six long poems, Schnackenberg’s rhyme-rich blank verse, with its densely packed images, shifts effortlessly between the lyric and the epic, setting passion to a verbal music that is recognizably her own.An exceptional and moving new collection from “the most talented American poet” of her generation (William Logan, The New York Times), Heavenly Questions is a work of intellectual, aesthetic, and technical innovation—and, more than that, a deeply compassionate and strikingly personal work.
