American Melancholy: Poems

by
Joyce Carol Oates

published in

2021
Cover art
August 5, 2021 Heather H says:
Oates' poetry is sharp and unrelenting. She cuts into the soul of the human condition and shows us exactly what we're made of.
The first poetry collection in 25 years by the National Book Award-winning author observes the human heart and mind while exploring subjects ranging from politics and racism to poverty and loss.

Headshot of Heather H

Heather H

I am a circulation assistant. I've loved reading all my life, and have a special place in my heart for the horror genre, a good Victorian Gothic and pretty much anything spooky and atmospheric. I am also an avid foodie, gardener and aficionado of all things "geek culture."
