Bøker av Sherod Santos

Sherod Santos' brilliant new collection, The Burning World, shows us exactly why the New York Times Book Review has said, "Santos possesses an intensity akin to Rilke."

A vividly rendered collection tracing the aftermath of a breakdown and the struggle to reconnect with the realities of daily life.

"Santos captures moments of lyric intensity and beauty that feel as fresh today as when they were written."-New Criterion

"[Santos] articulates some of the most moving truths we can know about our shared humanity."-Washington Post

A National Book Award finalist for 1999.

"Beautifully rendered.... Santos's greatest accomplishment here is not that he provides answers for the unanswerable, but that he convinces readers that love creates 'words whose syllables we are laved in, / Whose meanings keep endlessly coming to pass.'" -Publishers Weekly

Winner of the Umhoefer Prize: "A magnificent achievement, better, more animated, buoyant, and richly articulated than any other version I know."-Anthony Hecht
