3 Sections

Winner of the 2014 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry, 3 Sections by Vijay Seshadri’s is assured and expert, his line as canny as ever. In an array of poetic forms from the rhyming lyric to the philosophical meditation to the prose essay, 3 Sections confronts perplexing divisions of contemporary life — a wayward history, an indeterminate future and a present condition of wanting to out-think time. This is an extraordinary book, witty and vivacious, by one of the most important poets of our time.
