Description
The Lights is a collection of verse and prose that brings together the personal and collective in unexpected ways. Ben Lerner's poems are alive to the forces that shape human society, as well as the rhythms of the natural world.
Written over fifteen years, this book records the pleasures, risks, and absurdities of making art, family, and meaning against a backdrop of interlocking crises. Despite alerting us to darkness, it is the light in the book that remains, found in images from space, old poems, power cuts, and the connections between people.
Ben Lerner's poems come to us as beacons, illuminating new possibilities of thought and feeling.
