Part of his ambitious four part collage, process-driven Shepherd's Calendar titled THE WONDERFUL YEARE, this new chapbook by Nate Pritts works to throw the reader into the hazy trance of seasons. Repetition and echo resound as readers feel the enactment of a life on hold, cycling endlessly.
Nate Pritts is the author of eight books of poetry, most recently Post Human (2016) and Decoherence (2017). Publishers Weekly described his fifth book, Sweet Nothing (2011), as “both baroque and irreverent, banal and romantic, his poems […] arrive at a place of vulnerability and sincerity.” POETRY Magazine called his The Wonderfull Yeare (2009), “rich, vivid, intimate, & somewhat troubled” while The Rumpus called Big Bright Sun (2010) “a textual record of mistakes made and insights gleaned…[in] a voice that knows its part in self-destruction.”
