Heralded as \"one of our most vital, unclassifiable writers\" by the \u003ci\u003eVoice Literary Supplement, \u003c\/i\u003e Fanny Howe has published more than twenty books and is the recipient of the Gold Medal for Poetry from the Commonwealth Club of California. In addition, her \u003ci\u003eSelected Poems\u003c\/i\u003e received the 2001 Lenore Marshall Poetry Prize for the Most Outstanding Book of Poetry Published in 2000 from the Academy of American Poets.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe poems in \u003ci\u003eGone\u003c\/i\u003e describe the transit of a psyche, driven by uncertainty and by love, through various stations and experiences. This volume of short poems and one lyrical essay, all written in the last five years, is broken into five parts; and the longest of these, \"The Passion,\" consecrates the contradictions between these two emotions. The \u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e said, \"Howe has made a long-term project of trying to determine how we fit into God's world, and her aim is both true and marvelously free of sentimental piety.\" With \u003ci\u003eGone, \u003c\/i\u003e readers will have the opportunity to experience firsthand Howe's continuation of that elusive and fascinating endeavor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith extraordinary self-scrutiny and complexity--unmatchable musical poise and beauty--Fanny Howe examines our relationship with 'other' worlds, purgatories of various kinds: genetic, historical, theological. She writes from a world where hell is as close as God, or family, or love, where nothing happens that can, her syntax doubling back, as though it were possible by such formal and linguistic means to transform doubt into faith. It is a wonder to watch this poet try to decipher error with the knowledge that each error is necessary and the only guide is disguised as love. Heart, come along and be as heartless\/ as you know you are, she tells us. Work this honest is rare indeed.--Jorie Graham\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Howe's new volume is a double-edged sword: in it she creates beauty and questions it, pursues faith and lives with doubt, finds love and finds hate there waiting. Her book 'transverberates' with all the paradoxes at 'the crux\/of the huddle.' Howe is always an unpretentious pilgrim 'shinnying up the silence' into ever thinner atmospheres. I trust her as much as I have ever trusted anyone.\"--Rae Armantrout, author of \u003ci\u003eVeil: New and Selected Poems\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Fanny Howe's poems travel through stations, agonies, and intoxications to build a phenomenology of spirits. Her language lays bare the human condition of vision and unknowing, inheritance and reinvention. These impish devotions move holy and astray.\"--Elizabeth Willis, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Human Abstract\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFanny Howe\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor Emeritus of Writing and Literature at the University of California, San Diego.
