Andrea Cohen: Full Works Collection

Description

Four Way Books, paperback

Publication Date: February 15, 2021

Publisher Marketing: The poems in Everything, Andrea Cohen’s seventh collection, traffic in wonder and woe, in dialogue and interior speculation. Humor and gravity go hand in hand here. Cohen’s poems have the rueful irony of a stand-up comic playing to an empty room. But look around: there are wrecking balls, zebras, lovers, milk money. It’s a room to hang around in.

“Wrecking Ball”

Its offices are thin
air. On days off

it still goes in—
wrecking balls are

workaholics. They
hang around up

there, and even
the idea of big

sky crumbles.
