“A gorgeous collection…These poems unplug from TV and social media and the outrage of the moment and turn our attention to the immediate and the everlasting, human intimacy and the power and mystery of nature.” (Tampa Bay Times)<\/p>\n

“Kingsolver\u00a0brings her gifts of observation and reflection to HOW TO FLY…For a reader wanting to escape, to fly while grounded, this book is a map that offers surprise and delight.” (BookPage)<\/p>\n

In this intimate collection, the beloved author of The Poisonwood Bible and more than a dozen other New York Times bestsellers, winner or finalist for the Pulitzer and countless other prizes, now trains her eye on the everyday and the metaphysical in poems that are smartly crafted, emotionally rich, and luminous.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In her second poetry collection, Barbara Kingsolver offers reflections on the practical, the spiritual, and the wild. She begins with \u201chow to\u201d poems addressing everyday matters such as being hopeful, married, divorced; shearing a sheep; praying to unreliable gods; doing nothing at all; and of course, flying. Next come rafts of poems about making peace (or not) with the complicated bonds of friendship and family, and making peace (or not) with death, in the many ways it finds us. Some poems reflect on the redemptive powers of art and poetry itself; others consider where everything begins.<\/p>\n

Closing the book are poems that celebrate natural wonders\u2014birdsong and ghost-flowers, ruthless ants, clever shellfish, coral reefs, deadly deserts, and thousand-year-old beech trees\u2014all speaking to the daring project of belonging to an untamed world beyond ourselves.<\/p>\n

Altogether, these are poems about transcendence: finding breath and lightness in life and the everyday acts of living. It\u2019s all terribly easy and, as the title suggests, not entirely possible. Or at least, it is never quite finished.\u00a0<\/p>\n
