The Zoo at Night (The Raz/Shumaker Prairie Schooner Book Prize in Poetry) - Softcover
Book 9 of 13: The Raz/Shumaker Prairie Schooner Book Prize in Poetry
Synopsis
Winner of the Prairie Schooner Book Prize in Poetry, Susan Gubernat’s The Zoo at Night reflects with subtle craft on the dark side of love, death, the family romance, carnality, and lofty aspirations. She thinks of her poems as “night thoughts” resembling nocturnes, in which “a bit of light leaks in.”
Both experimental and classic, Gubernat’s poems combine formal and free verse elements. A (mostly) unrhymed sonnet sequence seeks to recall the world of a pre-digital childhood when physical objects—tactile, mechanical—took on totemic import and magical significance. Other poems echo the Rilkean principle that poetry can be empathetic by looking outward at the “thingness” of the world.
In these works of love and longing, Gubernat enters through the doors of craft and exits with feeling.
