Sight Lines

Winner of the 2019 National Book Award

â€œThe sight lines in Szeâ€™s 10th collection are just thatâ€•imagistic lines strung together by jump-cuts, creating a filmic collage that itself seems to be a portrait of simultaneity.â€ â€•The New York Times

From the current phenomenon of drawing calligraphy with water in public parks in China to Thomas Jefferson laying out dinosaur bones on the White House floor, from the last sighting of the axolotl to a man who stops building plutonium triggers, Sight Lines moves through space and time and brings the disparate and divergent into stunning and meaningful focus. In this new work, Arthur Sze employs a wide range of voicesâ€•from lichen on a ceiling to a man behind on his rentâ€•and his mythic imagination continually evokes how humans are endangering the planet; yet, balancing rigor with passion, he seizes the significant and luminous and transforms these moments into riveting and enduring poetry.

â€œThese new poems are stronger yet and by confronting time head on, may best stand its tests.â€ â€•Lit Hub

â€œThe wonders and realities of the world as seen through travel, nature walks, and daily routine bring life to the poems in Sight Lines.â€ â€•Library Journal
