Publisher Notes

In Mornings Like This, Annie Dillard extracts and rearranges sentences from old--and often odd--books, and composes ironic poems--some serious, some light--on the heartfelt themes of love, nature, nostalgia, and death. Clever, original, sometimes humorous, and often profound, this collection is sure to charm her fans, both old and new.

Media Reviews

"This collection inspires the hope that poems are to be found in all manner of texts, if we only know how to read them."
