Something Bright, Then Holes: Poems

Something Bright, Then Holes: Poems

These days

the world seems to split up

into those who need to dredge

and those who shrug their shoulders

and say, Itâ€™s just something

that happened.

While Maggie Nelson refers here to a polluted urban waterway, the Gowanus Canal, these words could just as easily describe Nelsonâ€™s incisive approach to desire, heartbreak, and emotional excavation in Something Bright, Then Holes. Whether writing from the debris-strewn shores of a contaminated canal or from the hospital room of a friend, Nelson charts each emotional landscape she encounters with unparalleled precision and empathy. Since its publication in 2007, the collection has proven itself to be both a record of a singular vision in the making as well as a timeless meditation on love, loss, andâ€•perhaps most frightening of allâ€•freedom.
