Book Synopsis

Each poem unfolds slowly and spaciously over the course of several pages, giving the reader space to absorb Brooks-Motl''s music, intellect and mastery of language Michael Slosek, The Poetry Foundation

With patience and precision, Hannah Brooks-Motl''s third collection of poems, Earth, explores the grand themes of love, family, economy and home with the skill of a true craftsman. As the measured compositions of these poems shift, so do their near-sculptural forms, and a feeling both classical and contemporary develops as a result. At times a paean to poetry, other times a critique of it, Earth is a breakthrough collection by a poet whose ceaselessly sharp intellect continues to use poetry to gain insight into not only her own wants and needs, but ours, and those of poetry itself.
Hannah Brooks-Motl is the author of the poetry collections The New Years (2014), M (2015) and Earth (2019). Her poems and essays have appeared in The Best American Experimental Writing, the Cambridge Literary Review, the Chicago Review, Modernism/modernity and Tupelo Quarterly, among other places. She lives in western Massachusetts.
