Burn All Night

Funny, sublime, and highly accessible, the poetry of Elizabeth Aldrich Elliott brings to life themes of love, family, politics, and death. Her second collection features both newly published poems and work selected from a career spanning several decades. Here is a mother lovingly ushering her daughter into womanhood; a woman finding wry pleasure in her lover's mauled glasses, carelessly doffed in bed; a writer regarding her own work with amused affection. Also included is a long prose piece, "Cordoba!", set in medieval Spain.
