"In this luminous companion to Day unto Day" the acclaimed poet seeks to reconcile beauty and horror, joy and mortality, the personal and the political ( Publishers Weekly, starred review).

"In this luminous companion to Day unto Day" the acclaimed poet seeks to reconcile beauty and horror, joy and mortality, the personal and the political ( Publishers Weekly, starred review). Like its predecessor, Day unto Day, this new collection presents six sequences, each written in one month a year, over the course of six years. It brings together the natural and the all-too-human; red-winged blackbirds and the death of a friend; the green leaves of a maple tree and drones overseas; a February spent in Italy and the persistence of anti-immigrant rhetoric. Dissonance is a permanent state, Collins suggests, something to be occupied rather than solved. And so this collection lives in the space between these seeming contrasts-and in the space between stanzas, sequences, days, and months. These poems speak to and revisit each other, borrowing a word or a line before turning it on end.
