A powerful new collection from an awardwinning<br />
poet<br />
Anatomy of Melancholy<br />
And Other Poems<br />
Robert Wrigley<br />
Robert Wrigley has become one of his generation’s most<br />
accomplished poets, renowned for his irony, power, and lucid style<br />
and for his ability to fuse narrative and lyrical impulses. Like its<br />
namesake—Robert Burton’s seventeenth-century examination of<br />
human thoughts and emotions—Wrigley’s new collection means<br />
to examine our world through the lens of melancholia. From<br />
imagined war memorials to insomniac chickens; from Descartes’<br />
lost daughter to a dreaming tree; from King Kong to Rush<br />
Limbaugh; and from Anna Karenina to a man named Lucy Doolin<br />
(short for Lucifer), these are poems that elegize and celebrate that<br />
most beautiful, exasperating, joyous, miserable, and perfectly<br />
imperfect of all creatures—the human being.<br />
RoBeRt wRigley is the author of eight collections of poetry,<br />
including In the Bank of Beautiful Sins, a finalist for the Lenore Marshall<br />
Prize; Reign of Snakes, winner of the 2000 Kingsley Tufts Poetry Award;<br />
Lives of the Animals, winner of the 2004 Poet’s Prize; and, most<br />
recently, Beautiful Country. He teaches at the University of Idaho and<br />
lives with his wife, the writer Kim Barnes, near Moscow, Idaho.
