Official synopsis Publisher
“The balance of rigidity, rhyme and ruin . . . makes an Olena Kalytiak Davis poem extraordinarily distinct. Even when she’s alluding to Dante and Rilke and Chekhov, her voice is like no one else’s.”–New York Times, Editors Choice
In Late Summer Ode, Olena Kalytiak Davis writes from
a heightened state of ambivalence, perched between past and present tensions.
With Chekovian humor and metered pathos, from a garden in Anchorage not pining
for Brooklyn, these poems “self -protest, -process, -recede.” Davis is a
conductor of sound and meaning, precise to the syllable: a commanding talent in
contemporary poetry.
