Anatomy of Melancholy and Other Poems (Penguin Poets)

Anatomy of Melancholy and Other Poems (Penguin Poets)

A powerful new collection from an award-winning poet Robert Wrigley has become one of his generation's most accomplished poets, renowned for his irony, power, and lucid style and for his ability to fuse narrative and lyrical impulses. Like its namesakeâ€”Robert Burton's seventeenth-century examination of human thoughts and emotionsâ€”Wrigley's new collection means to examine our world through the lens of melancholia. From imagined war memorials to insomniac chickens; from Descartes' lost daughter to a dreaming tree; from King Kong to Rush Limbaugh; and from Anna Karenina to a man named Lucy Doolin (short for Lucifer), these are poems that elegize and celebrate that most beautiful, exasperating, joyous, miserable, and perfectly imperfect of all creaturesâ€”the human being.
