This collection is a stunning achievement that will be appreciated by fans of her novels and poetry readers alike. And she is one of the very few writers equally accomplished in fiction and poetry. While many are familiar with Margaret Atwood's fiction-including her groundbreaking and bestselling novels The Handmaid's Tale, The Testaments, Oryx and Crake, among others-she has, from the beginning of her career, been one of our most significant contemporary poets. In poem after poem, she casts her unique imagination and unyielding, observant eye over the landscape of a life carefully and intuitively lived. Her new poetry is introspective and personal in tone, but wide-ranging in topic. A new book of poetry from internationally acclaimed, award-winning and bestselling author Margaret Atwood In Dearly, Margaret Atwood's first collection of poetry in over a decade, Atwood addresses themes such as love, loss, the passage of time, the nature of nature and - zombies.
