Description
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewThere’s magic here, a towering and welcoming imagination, the best kind, the kind that takes your hand into strange places, knows that fear makes sense, and helps you see what’s here.
* The Boston Globe *
Strange and sly, the poems in Mikko Harvey’s collection Let the World Have You are mocking, hopeful, and entertaining … Moving from the absurd image to the sharp and piercing comment, Harvey’s poems are always a pleasure here.
* The Miramichi Reader *
Dazzling, heartfelt poems populated by inventive narrative and uncanny imagery. Let the World Have You is a treasure trove of playfully serious odes to being.
-- Mark Leidner, author of Returning the Sword to the Stone
Mikko Harvey is a poet with a quirky sensibility. To me, his casual, melancholic, funny poems are like sugar water for the hummingbird.
-- Henri Cole, author of Blizzard
Mikko Harvey’s Let the World Have You is a catalog of (im)possibility that makes the dead world new again … Offering a language for our shared bewilderment in this life, this is a vulnerable work, equally brutal and gentle as it keeps turning toward the most remarkable things.
