Title details for Field Music by Alexandria Hall - Available

Field Music

ebook

A collection of poetry from the 2019 winner of the National Poetry Series, selected by Rosanna Warren

In her remarkable and assured debut, Alexandria Hall explores the boundaries and limits of language, place, and the self, as well as the complicated space between safety and danger, intimacy and isolation, playfulness and seriousness, home and away. With a keen eye for the importance of place, Hall shows us daily life in rural Vermont, illuminating the beauty and difficulty inherent in the dichotomies of human language and experience.

Incisive and tender, Field Music is a thoughtful and alert collection from a major emerging voice.


This incisive and tender collection maps the terrain between beauty and difficulty:


  • Nature and Rural Life: Experience the sharp beauty of rural Vermont—from shit-covered fields and rash goldenrod to the complicated stillness of a lake house at night.
  • Confessional Poetry: Unflinching poems that explore the body, the self, and the complicated space between intimacy and isolation, safety and danger.
  • Complex Family Dynamics: A raw examination of family ties, memory, and inheritance, where a father's presence echoes through mud pits and fishing trips.
  • An Award-Winning Debut: The powerful debut from the 2019 winner of the prestigious National Poetry Series, selected by poet Rosanna Warren.
