 Last Train to Paradise by Martha Silano includes work from all seven of Silano's previously published books along with thirty-five new poems written shortly before Silano's death from ALS in 2025. Silano's poetry has won numerous awards and accolades and has been featured in the Best American Poetry twice. She has earned praise from many of our most celebrated contemporary poets including Pulitzer winner Diane Seuss who pens the introduction to this collection. The range of Silano's work from the past quarter century, and all the life and love it embraces and collects in its revelatory and expansive linguistic virtuoso is testimony to the mind of one of our most tireless and talented poets.
