Dear Seth

In Dear Seth, Heather Christle departs from her usual style, instead opting for a more directly autobiographical approach with a series of poem-letters to the poet Seth Landman. "There is fear the baby / when it arrives will be wrongly / or poorly loved," she writes, and "We are in the new year now / hello / In the last days of the old one," each poem a glimpse of lives changing. Heather Christle is the author of The Difficult Farm; The Trees The Trees, which won the Believer Poetry Award; and What Is Amazing.
