Author: Harvey, Mikko

Condition: New

Mikko Harvey's new collection invites readers into a world that is and is not the world we know. In poems at once surreal, satiric, and tender, we encounter a cast of surprising non-human characters-the bear who sells herbal remedies, the politically influential lizard, the mean butterfly, and many more-yet at the core of this book is Harvey's impulse to confront the complications of human intimacy. Let the World Have You is a vibrant report on the ways in which we are delightfully, awkwardly, heartbreakingly entangled: with each other, with the environment we inhabit, and with the psychological environments that inhabit us.The numberof hourswe havetogether isactually notso large.Please lingernear thedoor uncomfortablyinstead ofjust leaving.Please forgetyour scarfin mylife andcome backlater forit.
