The New Economy

By Gabrielle Calvocoressi

Now in paperback, National Book Award and Los Angeles Times Book Prize finalist Gabrielle Calvocoressi's acclaimed collection imagines new ways of surviving--and thriving--in a world remade by grief, love, and radical possibility.

A series of cisterns undulating through love, grief, and time. A world of "Miss You" poems opening a portal to all those we've lost and would love to visit for a while. A devotional to the ungendered vessel as it ages, dreams, and survives. In Gabrielle Calvocoressi's latest collection, The New Economy, poems are haunted by the ghosts of loved ones and childhood memories, by changing landscapes and bodies. Calvocoressi's own figure is examined--investigating the desire to protect the body one is born with and the longing to have been born in another. Lyrical and unafraid, The New Economy is an invitation to name our fears and sorrows, to write to who or what has left us, to create practices that can hold both the darkness and light of this (in)finite life.
