Poetry. More formally various than Sharon Thesen's previous books, THE RECEIVER includes the short lyrics documenting the poet's witnessing that readers of her work will recognize, as well as various kinds of found poems, translations, prose poems, alongside some brief essays or memoirs. Thesen's mother and father, friends, poets in her own life, their poems, might form the immediate subject of the poems here, but above all, THE RECEIVER is about poetic imagination.
