Book Synopsis

ONE OF THE NEW YORKER''S BEST BOOKS OF 2023

''Deborah Landau''s poems make me feel alive. They are the city, the body, the evening drink transformed into pure essence. If you want to be returned to your senses and remember the pleasures of the world, this book is for you'' Alex Dimitrov

''Landau''s stunning collection Skeletons opens: So whatever''s the opposite of a Buddhist that''s what I am, and these are poems wonderfully full of attachments, in love with love, friends, sex, flavours and vistas and language, because isolation it burns. Behind it is all is rage against death, incessant klepto, but Landau is a first-rate phrasemaker and gets down in words life, the full force of it / pressing us together good and hard.'' Nick Laird

''Landau captures the ways humans persist, despite our collective anxiety, in our longing for something tender, something that might bloom'' Publishers Weekly (starred review)
