Kyrie: Poems - Paperback
by Ellen Bryant Voigt (Author)
In this mosaic of sonnets, her fifth collection, Ellen Bryant Voigt takes on a monumental challenge: to conjure up the influenza pandemic of 1918-19, a little-recorded event that killed 25 million worldwide, half a million in America alone. The Nation calls Kyrie an astonishing collection . . . so spare and tightly woven, yet so mindful of the cadences of the speaking voice, that the poems read like verse drama.
Starting with the family, Voigt creates voices that gather into one vast community story, a true tour de force (Boston Sunday Globe) that speaks to our own time of plague.
