Claude Before Time And Space: Poems (Southern Messenger Poets)

In Claude before Time and Space, her final collection, Pulitzer Prizeûwinning poet Claudia Emerson quietly but fiercely explores the themes of mortality and time. In the first section of this book, ôThe Wheel,ö Emerson uses a rural southern setting in poems that reflect on memory, the self, and relationships. In section two, ôBird Ephemera,ö she explores historical figuresùfrom an early naturalist and writer who raised her children in poverty to a small-town doctor. The collection concludes with a series of poems named after the poetÆs father. This illuminating body of work displays a master poet at the height of her craft.
