The firstever collection of essays by one of our most distinguished and distinctive poets, Pulitzer Prizewinner and former Poet Laureate of the United States, Kay RyanSynthesizing Gravity gathers for the first time a thirtyyear selection of Kay Ryans probings into aesthetics, poetics, and the mind in pursuit of art.A bracing collection of critical prose, book reviews, and her private previously unpublished soundings of poems and poets including Robert Frost, Stevie Smith, Marianne Moore, William Bronk, and Emily Dickinson Synthesizing Gravity bristles with Ryans crisp wit, her keen offkilter insights, and her appetite and appreciation for the genuine. Among essays like Radiantly Indefensible, Notes on the Danger of Notebooks, and The Abrasion of Loneliness, are piquant pieces on the virtues of emptiness, forgetfulness, and other underloved concepts. Edited and with an introduction by Christian Wiman, this generous collection of Ryans distinctive thinking gives us a surprising look into the mind of an American master.
