When One Has Lived a Long Time Alone
From the National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize-winning poet, a collection of poems ranging from melancholy meditations of a solitary mind concerning estrangement and the longing for reconnection to the natural world and its creatures closely observed.

“When One Has Lived a Long Time Alone is a poem that invites us, too, to pay such keen attention—both by seeing and listening—to the world, while also paying respect to our own inner lives, our feelings of solitude or self-estrangement, our longings and obligations to each other."—Jennifer Grotz
