About this product
Product Information
This collection holds a mirror to the self and in its reflection we find the elegiac and the ecological, as in "how much of enjoying a place / is destroying it?"; the worlds both domestic and natural, as in "when the redbird strikes the window, it is me / who takes blame"; a daughter shattered, but not without humor--"I can feel it coming on, my season of lavish suffering, the why me why me why me why me / that leaves me snowblind in the asking"--and, certainly, not without tenderness. Shaped by both concision and unfolding sequences, The Last Unkillable Thing is a journey across landscapes of mourning.

Reviews
"The tender elegiac fragments that fill this book--the look of the earth, the echo of despair--coalesce into one immense question: How can it be, this thing called Death? That question gives rise to others: What is beauty, forgiveness, recklessness, instinct? To consider these irresolvable questions is to admit to this difficult truth: 'doesn't it hurt / to be human.'"--Mary Jo Bang, author, A Doll for Throwing, "To be alive in the natural world means to live with death, riding the wheel as it turns joy to sorrow to hope to pain to love and over again. Emily Pittinos stops each moment in its tracks, and delivers that moment to us in fullness, in the good, hard light of her heart and will. The world of this book is sparsely populated: love held close, loss held loosely as if it too could be lost. The speaker aches for another's loss, and finds layers of compassion, loops of time travel, long miles of forgiveness, and her own ache to treasure and know. What an exquisite combination of wonder and wisdom Pittinos has: she knows that even the word 'whole' has a hole in it, and there's her eye, looking through."--Brenda Shaughnessy, judge, Iowa Poetry Prize, "Torn between an instinct to imagine the past as different ('the wreck undone') and the urge to construct a future, better self ('hazy glow in which / I am brighter: kinder: unorphanable'), Emily Pittinos shows us how time is ultimately as untameable as the self, and that maybe that's as it should be. 'How much awe have I missed by looking away,' she asks, training her eye squarely on the present's ever-shifting mix of shame and clarity, beauty and regret, mystery and joy. In so doing, Pittinos finds not resolution but resolve, to make room for the self's wilderness, to trust the wilderness: 'I'd be lost / without my own bright footpath.' The poems here flash with risk and grace, equally. The Last Unkillable Thing is a stirring, deeply felt debut."--Carl Phillips, author, Pale Colors in a Tall Field

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!
