The New Nudity [Paperback]

Hadara Bar-Nadav’s radiant new collection of poetry, The New Nudity, shocks everyday objects to life. In these chiseled, electrically-charged poems, a ladder, wineglass, and spine ignite into being. With a nod to Francis Ponge, Gertrude Stein, and Pablo Neruda, Bar-Nadav’s poems have a heartbeat all their own, small miracles that haunt and heave.HADARA BAR-NADAV, the recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship, is the author of Lullaby (with Exit Sign), awarded the Saturnalia Books Poetry Prize, The Frame Called Ruin, and A Glass of Milk to Kiss Goodnight. She is also author of two chapbooks: Fountain and Furnace (2015), and Show Me Yours (2010). In addition, she is coauthor with Michelle Boisseau of the best-selling textbook Writing Poems, 8th ed. (2011), and an associate professor of English at the University of Missouri-Kansas City.
