An impassioned call for a return to reading poetry and an incisive argument for poetry’s accessibility to all readers, by critically acclaimed poet Matthew Zapruder In Why Poetry, award-winning poet Matthew Zapruder takes on what it is that poetry—and poetry alone—can do.

Poetry. Barbara Swift Brauer's poetry collection, AT EASE IN THE BORROWED WORLD, is at once graceful and unflinchingly candid. These quiet and cleanly crafted poems invite reflection on the tasks we set ourselves, the choices we make, and the stories we tell. With rigorous tenderness, Brauer speaks to the redemptive power of the natural world to reconcile us to our losses. Through identities lived and unlived, we find our way in the wake of those who have gone before, discovering what will carry us toward the chosen life, at ease in this borrowed world. Of the collection, Diana O'Hehir writes: "In this resonant and evocative book, Barbara Swift Brauer makes her readers feel the weight of re-creating the past, and also that the task is imperative. The themes of past and present are interwoven in clear, direct language and with unexpected comparisons. A meaningful collection."
