Paper BoatPaper Boat

"In pieces that are at once brilliant, beautiful, and hyper-imagined, Atwood gives voice to remarkably drawn characters-mythological figures, animals, and everyday people-all of whom have something to say about what it means to live in a world as strange as our own. 'How can one live with such a heart?' Atwood asks, casting her singular spell upon the reader and ferrying us through life, death, and whatever comes next. Atwood, in her journey through poetry, illuminates our most innate joys and sorrows, desires and fears. Spanning six decades of work-from her earliest beginnings to brand-new poems-this volume charts the evolution of one of our most iconic and necessary authors." --publisher's website.
