Wild Nights: New & Selected Poems

Wild Nights: New & Selected Poems

Americaâ€™s Kim Addonizio has been called â€˜one of the nationâ€™s most provocative and edgy poetsâ€™. Her poetry is renowned both for its gritty, street-wise narrators and for a wicked sense of wit. With passion, precision and irreverent honesty, her poems explore lifeâ€™s dual nature: good and evil, light and dark, joy and suffering, exposing raw emotions often only visible when truly confronting ourselves - jealousy, self-pity, fear, lust. â€˜Like any good nighthawk, Addonizio finds Eros and loss inseparable, where they lurk in loversâ€™ exchanges and at the bottom of empty gin bottles. But these poems serve as affirmations too, in long lyrical questions-and-answers that push on into the early morning, braving last call.â€™ - The New Yorker
