A Little More Red Sun on the Human: New & Selected Poems

A selection of poems by celebrated poet Gillian Conoley that spans her arresting body of work: from the idiosyncrasies of Texas girlhood toward an encompassing inquiry into spirit and matter, individual and state. FINALIST for the California Book Awards

WINNER of the 39TH NORTHERN CALIFORNIA BOOK AWARD IN POETRY

FINALIST for the 89TH CALIFORNIA BOOK AWARD IN POETRY

SHORTLISTED for the 2019 GOLDEN POPPY BOOK AWARD IN POETRY

Conoley’s selected poems assemble a shockingly varied body of work, comprising narrative, lyric, and fragmented forms. Her coruscating vibrant poems are informed by visual art and film, political engagement and playful linguistic constructions. Throughout, one can trace Conoley’s obsessions and concerns: democracy, metaphysics, motherhood, gender and race, futurity and history.
