Works and Days

<p>Nathaniel Rosenthalis' <em>Works and Days</em> is a brilliant lyrical and exuberant collection of poems. Playful tender and often wise these works combine self-portraiture literary homage familial anecdotes mythological retellings and philosophical contemplation to create a series of moving depictions of what it is to be human and part of a world of both great suffering and great joy. With humor intelligence and vulnerability the poems examine themes of love loss beauty language and the meaning of art and art making. <em>Works and Days</em> is a work of great depth and heart.</p>
