Abstract

The article focuses on the former poet laureate's new collection, "Startlement," which features new work and selections from her 20-year career. The poet reflects on the challenges of balancing public expectations with personal privacy during her laureateship, emphasizing the importance of retreating into her private life to nurture her creativity. The new poems explore themes of artistry in a world that often undervalues art, the connection to nature, and profound existential questions about suffering, beauty, and human connection. Her travels across the United States have deepened her appreciation for diverse landscapes and underscored the urgency of writing about the natural world. [Extracted from the article]
