Incarnadine
by Mary Szybist

"A religious book for a secular America, this is among the most arresting and inventive collections of the past few years. Mary Szybist turns Christian mythology — her name is Mary, after all — on its head with all the reverence of a true believer. She’s a restless formal experimenter and a humble, compassionate observer of the complicated glory of the world. If you only read one book of poetry this year, you’re not reading enough poetry — but if it *must* be one, this should be it.*This book was also the winner of the 2013 National Book Award for poetry.*"
