Asunder (National Poetry Series)
(Chosen for the National Poetry Series by Garrett Hongo, S...)
Chosen for the National Poetry Series by Garrett Hongo, Susan Wood's Asunder reveals a grown woman and fully mature poet facing grief and loss, longing and desire, and asking the questions with which we all must grapple: How does one go on living in the face of death and loss? What are the limits of knowledge in this world? To what extent can one ever know oneself and others? Wood has written an elegiac book full of ghosts, not only of old lovers, friends, and fellow poets, but of her own lost innocence.

Dear Editor,
Kay Ryan"s piece on AWP is a contrarian, hilarious, honest delight.
I share many of Ryan"s feelings about the AWP conference, but I spent more time in my room than she did. Because everyone at AWP seems to be so frantically on the make, running around desperately trying to see as many people as possible, especially famous people, I always find myself in a dilemma.
On the one hand, I try to feel superior and refuse to participate, while on the other hand, I feel like I"m missing out on everything, and everyone is having much more fun than I american Probably they are. Susan Wood.
