"One of the most original voices of her generation."-James Wood
NAMED ONE OF THE BEST POETRY BOOKS OF THE YEAR BYTHE NEW YORK TIMES AND THE PARIS REVIEW
Jana Prikryl'sNo Matterguides the reader through cities-remembered and imagined-toppling past the point of decline and fall. Conjured by voices alternately ardent, caustic, grieving, but always watchful, these soliloquies move from free verse through sonnets and invented forms, insisting that every demolition builds something new and unforeseen. In reactionary times, these poems say, we each have a responsibility to use our imagination.
No Matteris an elegy for our ongoing moment, when what seemed permanent suddenly appears to be on the brink of disappearing.
