Publisher's Synopsis
Felt is a fiercely imagined work, at once visceral and cerebral, by a poet of unremitting courage and linguistic intelligence. In this groundbreaking collection, felt--a fabric of tangled fibers--becomes a metaphor for the intertwinings of humans, animals, and planet. Urgent and transformative, Felt considers failure, humiliation, obsession, and loneliness as well as subtle states that have yet to be named. Alice Fulton counters invisible assumptions with magnitude and grace.
