A Phone Call to the Future: New & Selected Poems, gathers new poems along with a selection of the best from previous award-winning collections. In Salter’s poetry we have a unique blend of domestic drama and the grittier wider world. Her new book is a powerful reminder and a ringing confirmation of Salter’s remarkable gifts. Salter is now Professor in The Writing Seminars at Johns Hopkins University. In Leithauser’s newest book, Curves and Angles: Poems, wanders from the balmy waters of the South Pacific to the crystalline wastes of the Artic, unified throughout by an embracing love of the natural world in all its inexhaustible variety—whether lush or spare, peopled or solitary, curved or angled. It’s a journey made unforgettable by these wise and exuberant poems. Leithauser is a Emily Dickinson Senior Lecturer in the Humanities at Mount Holyoke College.
