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.
