Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship
Arts and Letters Award in Literature from the American Academy of Arts and Letters
Alice Fay di Castagnola Award from the Poetry Society of America
Finalist for PEN America's Voelcker Poetry Award
Boston Globe's "Best Books of 2021"
Bookworm's "Top 10 Books of 2021"
Recognized for his "wildly original" poetry and his "uncanny and unparalleled ability to blend lyric and narrative," Atsuro Riley deepens here his uncommon mastery and tang. In Heard-Hoard, Riley has "razor-exacted" and "raw-wired" an absorbing new sequence of poems, a vivid weavework rendering an American place and its people.
At once an album of tales and portrait gallery and soundscape, "inscritched" dirt-mural and hymnbook, Heard-Hoard encompasses a chorus of voices shot through with (mostly human) histories and mysteries, their "old appetites as chronic as tides." From the crackling story-man calling us together in the primal circle to Tammy figuring "time and time that yonder oak," this collection is a profound evocation of lives and loss and lore.
