Nervous System: Poems (National Poetry)

A moving and kinetic collection of poetry from the 2018 winner of the National Poetry Series, selected by Monica Youn Unexpected, unusual, and stirring, the poetry of Rosalie Moffett ?takes us to the brink of a world continually unmaking itself,? (Georgia Review). From diving-bell spiders to the nervous system of the human body, from trees growing so heavy with fruit that they split to dogs galloping through snowy hills, Moffett?s world is rendered with precision, intricacy, and extraordinary beauty. Exhilarating in its technical expertise but also steeped in a profound connection to the natural world and the human psyche, Nervous System is a collection from a major emerging voice.
