- Book Synopsis
- "What beautiful lucidity these poems have, what quiet, firm intelligence. Margaret Ross' poetry has the vivid characterizations and scenic quality of stories, but with another more mysterious quality that is disturbing and ineffably moving." -Mary GaitskillMargaret Ross' highly anticipated second collection of poems, Saturday, chronicles a brute education in love and decorum through ceremony starter kits, basement classrooms and a mission school turned art camp, seeking to "touch the myth beneath the fiction." Dexterous and musical, Ross writes stunning lines with unmistakable precision. These poems accrue from fleeting details, think in images and resist simplifying the nature of feeling. In emotionally raw scenes, Saturday explores various forms of intimacy and estrangement in unforgettable ways. Margaret Ross is the author of one previous collection, A Timeshare (Omnidawn, 2015). Her poems and translations appear or are forthcoming in Granta, the Paris Review, Poetry, the Yale Review and Best American Nonrequired Reading. The recipient of a Stegner Fellowship, a Fulbright grant and a Henry Luce Foundation Chinese Poetry & Translation Fellowship, she was most recently a Harper-Schmidt Fellow at the University of Chicago and will teach poetry at the Iowa Writers' Workshop this fall.
