Longing Distance
From a woman's perspective, the force of desire and the force of memory, the macro- and micro-cosmos, nature and art, the search for a guide and the disaster that comes when we find one, are among the themes Longing Distance takes on in carefully crafted free and formal-verse poems. Sarah Hannah pursues our struggle for perspective on love, loss, even our place in the universe, in a voice that's intelligent, wry and incontrovertibly contemporary.
Inflorescence
In this fierce, often witty memoir-in-verse, Sarah Hannah confronts her role as caretaker of her dying, mentally ill mother, artist Renee Rothbein. Entwining the lore of wildflowers with richly evocative language, Hannah's stunningly contemporary voice summons truth and love from loss with unflinching honesty and candor. Poems from this collection have been nominated for four Pushcart Prizes. Sarah Hannah's first book, Longing Distance (Tupelo Press, 2004), was a semifinalist for the Yale Younger Poets Prize. Her poems have appeared in many journals, including Parnassus, The Southern Review, Harvard Review, and AGNI. She grew up in Newton, Massachusetts, and teaches at Emerson College.
