The timeless and timely intersect in poems about our unique historical moment, from the prize-winning poet
In Zoom Rooms, Mary Jo Salter considers the strangeness of our recent existence, together with the enduring constants in our lives, and the resulting paradoxes: in one poem, the only witnesses to a couple's outdoor marriage ceremony are two swans in a pond.
Whether re-imagining the Walker Evans photograph of a dusty Depression-era street or a gilded Giotto altarpiece, the poet's subjects honor our diverse touchpoints--births, weddings, funerals--in an age of technology and distancing. And this new grandmother is game enough to enter the Zoom rooms of the book's final sonnet sequence, applying her humor and close attention to the human connections on offer there.
In these beautiful and cognizant new poems, Salter directs us to precious moments
