We are excited to announce an event at the Princeton Library’s Labyrinth Books, presenting Idra Novey in conversation with Monica Youn and Ilya Kaminsky. This event features Novey’s poetry from her acclaimed book, Soon and Wholly.
“Soon and Wholly brings a lyric intimacy to the extremes of our era. The poems juxtapose sweltering days raising children in a city with moments from a rural childhood roaming free in the woods, providing a bridge between those often polarized realities. Novey’s spare, contemporary fables move across the Americas, from a woman housesitting in central Chile, surrounded by encroaching fires, to a man in New York about to give birth to a panda.”
Check out Soon and Wholly here!
