Something Bright, Then Holes

Maggie Nelson€s fourth collection of poems combines a wanderer€s attention to landscape with a deeply personal exploration of desire, heartbreak, resilience, accident, and flux. Something Bright, Then Holes explores the problem of losing then recovering sight and insight - of feeling lost, then found, then lost again. The book€s three sections range widely, and include a long sequence of Niedecker-esque meditations written at the shore of a polluted urban canal, a harrowing long poem written at a friend€s hospital bedside, and a series of unsparing, crystalline lyrics honoring the conjoined forces of love and sorrow. Whatever the style, the poems are linked by Nelson€s singular poetic voice, as sly and exacting as it is raw. The collection is a testament to Nelson€s steadfast commitment to chart the facts of feeling, whatever they are, and at whatever the cost.
