Now available in paperback, 25th US Poet Laureate Arthur Sze's visionary collection invites readers into moments of profound attention, where language becomes a way of listening to the living world.
Like wind on a lake, Arthur Sze's twelfth book of poetry, Into the Hush, extends a language that ripples and stills, widens and deepens. Through an earned and profound simplicity, these poems move with imaginative power and emotional force, gathering a startling array of contrasts--from wildfires and gunshots to a sprig of sunrise--to address the challenges of our nuclear age. Sze reveals the exigencies of climate change using a range of innovative forms, including shadow sonnets, pantoums, and a segmented zuihitsu, where a jaguar, an eraser, and even aspen leaves speak. Written at the height of Sze's powers, Into the Hush is a landmark publication, enacting a thrilling journey from silence into sound, from emptiness into the rich panoply of existence.

Which poetry book are you currently reading?
I’m currently reading Arthur Sze’s Into the Hush. I figure since he’s the current U.S. Poet Laureate, I better read up on him. He has a unique blend of science, philosophy, and nature which resonates with my mechanical engineering background. I’m attracted to poetry of variation and disruption. So far, I’m enjoying a lot of surprise in the writing, especially when lyric forms (e.g. shadow sonnets, pantoums, and a segmented zuihitsu) follow traditional poetic forms. So far, the poems are richly layered in meaning and feeling. I’m guessing I will return to this book long after I’m done, which seems like a huge reward.
