The Latest Winter by Maggie Nelson

5.0

I started reading The Latest Winter and felt disconnected...from the poetry, from the imagery, from it all. I said as much to my coworker. She was flabbergasted. "But I love Maggie Nelson," she said, looking at me askance. I decided to keep at it. And maybe it was the releasing of expectations or a gift from the universe for my dogged perseverance... but the next time I picked up The Latest Winter, I fell in love. Hard. It's gorgeous and wrenching. And now my copy is beloved and dog-eared.
