5 NEW BOOKS ON POETRY PULITZER WINNER FORREST GANDER'S READING LIST
“In a time of visual extravaganzas, hypersurveillance, mass migration, and environmental catastrophe, people — especially the young — continue to find their way to poetry,” [Gander] wrote in an email. “It must speak from depths that aren’t touched by Twitter feeds, Facebook posts, or the relentless rush of news. I think it responds to some profound and soul-shaping human need.” Vulture caught up with the poet to congratulate him on his latest honor and to find out what books he’s most looking forward to reading this spring.
