Emblem

by Richard Hoffman

Fiction. "If Anton Chekhov returned as a modern-day poet, Richard Hoffman would be his name. His poems reverberate with the same lucid witness and precision. Bridging histories local and cultural, they draw on literary traditions while simultaneously heralding experiment and invention. Both rooted and transcendent, EMBLEM is a marvelous new book."—Terrance Hayes
