Excerpts from a Secret Prophecy (Penguin Poets)
<b>New work from an awardwinning poet</b><br><br>Joanna Klink has won acclaim for poetry of bracing emotional intensity. Of her most recent book, <i>Raptus</i>, Carolyn Forché has written that she is “a genuine poet, a born poet, and I am in awe of her achievement.†The poems in Klink’s new collection offer a closely keyed meditation on being alone—on a self fighting its way out of isolation, toward connection with other people and a vanishing world.
