About this product
Product Information
Finalist, 2017 Miller Williams Poetry Prize, edited by Billy Collins "A graceful synthesis of poetry and science." --Billy Collins Laura McCullough finds passage through the darkest times as she loses, in short order, her mother and her marriage. Through her near unbearable grief, she creates poems that slip between science and nature as she grasps at coordinates in a world spun out of its orbit. From the God Particle to toroidal vortexes, from the slippery linguistics of translation to the translation of the body, McCullough brings readers to the mystery of surrender, and the paradox that what we bear can make us more beautiful, that there is a gift in grief.

Reviews
"This poet has the kind of binocular vision that can see the poetic and scientific aspects of the world simultaneously. . . . this shuffling together of lyrical/botanical and medical language is done so gracefully, it has the effect of bringing 'the two cultures' into a rare state of peaceful coexistence." --Billy Collins, "What distinguishes Laura McCullough's outstanding The Wild Night Dress is its refusal to settle for the familiar turns and tropes of wisdom, the temptations of which must have been pulling at the edges of every stanza. Instead McCullough commits herself to a project that's rougher, more daring: a science of her own in which two concurrent losses--the death of a mother, the end of a long relationship--become a door to a place she can't yet see. 'I'm ready to learn another language, a new / syntax.' And that desire is astonishingly here, poem after poem." --Paul Lisicky, "Laura McCullough's The Wild Night Dress opens and closes speaking in a language of science connected to emotion. Love waves, the aftershocks of earthquakes, and terror waves, the defensive movements of prey, nicely encapsulate McCullough's exploration of grief. She reminds us how these effects mirror the scientific duality of matter as particles and waves, and the entire book becomes a reflection on how loss happens to us not just in one instance, but over and over again with each memory of it." --Theodora Hannan, Mid-American Review , Volume XXXVIII, Number 1, "As much as Laura McCullough's seventh book of poetry The Wild Night Dress, which was selected by Billy Collins as a finalist for the 2017 Miller Williams Poetry Prize, charts the union of science and poetry, it also is a profound meditation on hunger and loss. Throughout the collection, the need to be fed, literally and figuratively, and the speaker's obligation to feed and sustain those around her is a recurring theme. These are poems of witness and survival, as the daily and mundane continue asking of the speaker, even when she has been stripped of those who sustained her most." --Kristina Marie Darling, Tupelo Quarterly, "Laura McCullough knows the sacred is all around us: in the words of a stranger, a hummingbird outside the kitchen window, junk washed up on a shoreline, finding refuge in the language of reverie. Raw, stark, vulnerable, these poems confront loss without sentimentality and turn to the quotidian as a means of resilience. This collection is a meditation on what it means to carry on, elegies that radiate with life." --Dorianne Laux, "The colossal fortitude and lyric pitch of Laura McCullough's intellect in its search to find the figures and music to accompany the challenges and exuberance of living today leave us sprawling in wonder at her rich talents and more resilient for she names the fires that burn inside us. The Wild Night Dress is the indisputable evidence we need to intercept any doubts about the vibrancy of contemporary poetry." --Major Jackson

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
