Think of a time when you’ve feigned courage to make a friend, feigned forgiveness to keep one, or feigned indifference to simply stay out of it. What does it mean for our intimacies to fail us when we need them most? The poems of this collection explore such everyday dualities—how the human need for attachment is as much a source of pain as of vitality and how our longing for transcendence often leads to sinister complicities. The title poem tells the conflicted and devastating story of the poet’s friendship with the now-disgraced Bishop of Phoenix, Arizona, interweaving fragments of his parents’ funerals, which the Bishop concelebrated, with memories of his childhood spiritual leanings and how they were disrupted by a pedophilic priest the Bishop failed to protect him from. This meditation on spiritual life, physical death, and betrayal is joined by an array of poised, short lyrics and expansive prose poems exploring how the terror and unpredictability of our era intrudes on our most intimate moments. Whether Michael Collier is writing about an airline disaster, Huey Newton’s trial, Thomas Jefferson’s bees, a piano in the woods, or his own fraught friendship with the disgraced Catholic Bishop, his syntactic verve, scrupulously observed detail, and flawless ear bring the felt—and sometimes frightening—dimensions of the mundane to life. Throughout, this collection pursues a quiet but ferocious need to get to the bottom of things.

A culture of cynicism began to grow when art and comedy were used as tools for wealth and distraction rather than as sources of happiness. Happiness died because nothing is meaningful anymore. Nothing Important aims to find meaning in a person’s life. It can be expressed in many ways, including through art, love, religion, nature, and society. Philosophically, we often find our purpose and happiness in meaning. But if we lose that meaning, how can we recapture that purpose and happiness? Rendered in sixty clear and concise poems of varying length, this collection dips into Greek mythology and the classics, yet remains wholly modern. Alex K. Bishop wrote these poems in a three-year period, from 2017 to 2019. The existentialist theories of French philosophers Albert Camus and Jean-Paul Sartre are the driving forces behind this collection, though anyone with an interest in existential philosophy, subjective experiences, mental health concerns, and love stories may find themselves reflected in these intelligent and sensitively written poems.

A Boston Globe Best Poetry Book of 2011 This is the definitive edition of the work of one of America's greatest poets, increasingly recognized as one of the greatest English-language poets of the twentieth century, loved by readers and poets alike. Bishop's poems combine humor and sadness, pain and acceptance, and observe nature and lives in perfect miniaturist close-up. The themes central to her poetry are geography and landscape—from New England, where she grew up, to Brazil and Florida, where she later lived—human connection with the natural world, questions of knowledge and perception, and the ability or inability of form to control chaos. This new edition offers readers the opportunity to take in, entire, one of the great careers in twentiethcentury poetry.
