Description
In this moving, playful, and deeply philosophical volume, acclaimed poet Gregory Orr returns with a passionate exploration of the forces that shape us. Slipping effortlessly from personal trauma (Song of What Happens) to public catastrophe (Charlottesville Elegy), Orr seeks innovative ways for the imagination to respond to and create meaning out of painful experiences, while at the same time rejoicing in love and language.
The Last Love Poem I Will Ever Write confirms Orr's place among the preeminent lyric poets of his generation, engaging the deepest existential issues with wisdom and humour and transforming them into celebratory song.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Critics praise Orr's crystal-clear articulation of grief throughout the collection. Reviewer Katie Berta from Ploughshares highlights how these profound expressions make the poems impossible to read lightly, imbuing even the simplest lyric with deep emotional resonance.
