Description
"The balance of rigidity, rhyme and ruin . . . makes an Olena Kalytiak Davis poem extraordinarily distinct. Even when she's alluding to Dante and Rilke and Chekhov, her voice is like no one else's."--New York Times, Editors Choice
In Late Summer Ode, Olena Kalytiak Davis writes from
a heightened state of ambivalence, perched between past and present tensions.
With Chekovian humor and metered pathos, from a garden in Anchorage not pining
for Brooklyn, these poems "self -protest, -process, -recede." Davis is a
conductor of sound and meaning, precise to the syllable: a commanding talent in
contemporary poetry.
