The Lives of a Spirit/Glasstown cover

In this brilliant work that transcends genre—lyric essay, prose poem, philosophical fiction—Fanny Howe pursues her realization that keen metaphysical inquiry is radically essential to everyday life.

“With extraordinary self-scrutiny and complexity—and unmatchable musical poise and beauty—Fanny Howe examines our relationship with ‘other’ worlds, purgatories of various kinds: genetic, historical, theological.”—Rae Armantrout
“Fanny Howe employs a sometimes fierce, always passionate, spareness in her lifelong parsing of the exchange between matter and spirit.”—Michael Palmer
