Description

Finalist for the 2009 Pulitzer Prize, What Love Comes To: New & Selected Poems was cited as a “collection of poems that give[s] rich drama to ordinary experience, deepening our sense of what it means to be human.” This comprehensive selection includes an abundance of new work joined with Ruth Stone’s best work from twelve previous volumes, including her early formal lyrics, fierce political poems, meditations on her husband’s suicide, on blindness, and on aging. As Sharon Olds writes in her foreword, “A Ruth Stone poem feels alive in the hands—ardent, independent, restless.” What Love Comes To is a necessary collection from an American original. -- from publisher's website, adapted from book jacket description.
