The Republic of Virtue

The Republic of Virtue by Paul Lake, recipient of the 2013 Richard Wilbur Award, is an exceptionally powerful collection of new poems, unique in their range and exquisite in their craftsmanship. Some of the poems in this collection, with constant and remarkable clarity, boldly dissect some of the crucial, underlying philosophical and political questions of western civilization, often focusing on how language is used to subvert the truth and how radical idealisms can often lead to violence and terror. Yet other poems in this disparate collection are affectingly personal, even tender, dealing with problems that we face in our everyday lives. Whether his mode is narrative, satiric, or lyric, Lake's poems are always uniquely honest, insightful, and provocative.
