Hanif Abdurraqib and Timothy Donnelly

Hanif Abdurraqib’s new book of poems is A Fortune for Your Disaster—“the kind of poetic stand that helps us stay alive, even in our late empire that moves to its own truth and dread,” wrote Ilya Kaminsky. “His is the voice to live with.” Timothy Donnelly’s new book of poems is The Problem of the Many. “They are unlike any poems being written in English today, and perhaps they are unlike any poems written in English ever, because at their most capacious they define a limit of capaciousness in the art,” wrote Shane McCrae.
