Barbara Helfgott Hyett’s new collection considers, from close and afar, the elemental forces coming to bear on human character in our time. The title poem spills across the face of history—9/11, Hiroshima, the harrowing geological formation of earth, the sudden appearance of cave art, and ultimately, the uncertainty of God.

She has also been Visiting Scholar at the Harvard Graduate School of Education and at Tufts. Her poems have appeared in dozens of magazines including The Nation, The New Republic, and The Partisan Review. A professor, editor, and poet-in-the-schools, she taught Literature and Writing at MIT and Boston University, where she won the Sproat Award for Excellence in Teaching English. Barbara Helfgott Hyett has been Visiting Scholar at Harvard and Tufts, and is a 2010 Father Thomas Fellow with the Boston Foundation.
