After Urgency
Rusty Morrison
Selected by Jane Hirshfield
Having lost both parents, Morrison’s new
work embodies the volatility of death in life,
beyond elegy, which mourning allows us
to experience.
“The question underlying After Urgency’s
pages is how to go on — a question that
presses even when we can do nothing else
— and each poem posits its own hardwrestled,
multiplying answer of gorgeous
continuance.... The intelligence and
aliveness here are omnidirectional.”
— Jane Hirshfield
