How Late Desire Looks
Opening with the title poem, when the speaker's encounter with a married neighbor lasts "one minute / longer than intended," this scrupulously crafted debut shows us, to quote Jorie Graham, "that perfection can't be kept, / only its perfect instances." In dense lyrics, prose poems, and even double sestinas, consummated desire shatters into restraint, refusal, reciprocity, and finally, despair. Although Roberts plainly acknowledges that the self must "open into" the "harm's way" of experience, a quandary of detail hinders longer poems such as "Fugue," which packs so much operatic theme and minutiae that it collapses into itself, like a black hole. More often, "entire worlds of possibility" ar...

Disaster and the Politics of Intervention
Government plays a critical role in mitigating individual and collective vulnerability to disaster. Through measures such as disaster relief, infrastructure development, and environmental regulation, public policy is central to making societies more resilient.

Are market-based interve...

Katrina
Winner of the Bancroft Prize Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities Book of the Year A Publishers Weekly Book of the Year “The main thrust of Horowitz’s account is to make us understand Katrina—the civic calamity, not the storm itself—as a consequence of decades of bad decisions by humans, not an unanticipated caprice of nature.” —Nicholas Lemann, New Yorker Hurricane Katrina made landfall in New Orleans on August 29, 2005, but the decisions that caused the disaster can be traced back nearly a century. After the city weathered a major hurricane in 1915, its Sewerage and Water Board believed that developers could safely build housing near the Mississippi, on lowlands that relied o...

Republic of Capital
This book is a political history of economic life.

In dialectical fashion, politics shaped private law while the effor...
