After the Palace Burns

After the Palace Burns is the stunning debut of Jennifer Anna Gosetti-Ferencei and winner of the Paris Review Prize in Poetry. Each line in this extraordinary collection articulates entrance into a world of intense clarity and deep surprise, nuanced by questions about the limits of the possible and knowable.

“Gosetti-Ferencei’s lyric meditations manifest eloquence, individual voicing, and authentic cognitive power.” — Harold Bloom

“In Gosetti-Ferencei’s poems the unsayable is suggested, encircled, and, finally, magically uttered into existence. ” — Mark Strand

“The writing resonates with an old, symbolist purity, a familiar but quiet formality.” –Stanley Plumly
