A stunning new poetry collection from the 2001 Kathryn A. Morton Prize-winner, selected by Stanley“Barot’s Want is dexterous and thrilling, and his capacious and generous vision shows us how the eye survives ‘to correct the heart.’”—Michael Collier “In Rick Barot’s hands every poem casts at least two luminous shadows.
