The Unnamed

By Joshua Ferris

the unusual :
happiness
marriage
a good life

the untimely :
snatched
from our shelter
our safe house of hearts

the unnerving :
changes
a wind whipped street
lifes cruel hard road

joshua ferris has courageously written a novel for all god's lonely children
his story shines even as it darkens
his characters sing even as they're crying
unnamed
unknowing

and finally
understanding

quite simply the novel of the year

undeniably

GREAT

It's All About Friends Story Time Start: 11:30 am It's All About Friends Story Time Sunday, February 28, 11:30 a.m. Big Wolf and Little Wolf BUY NOW A Visitor for Bear BUY NOW Sunday Poetry Book Club Start: 2:00 pm Sunday, February 28, 2:00 p.m. It Is Daylight by Ardna Collins Arda Collins is the 2008 winner of the annual Yale Series of Younger Poets competition. Mesmerizing and electric, her poems seem to be articulated in the privacy of an enclosed space. The poems are concrete and yet metaphysically challenging, both witty and despairing. Collins’ emotional complexity and uncommon range make this debut both thrillingly imaginative and ethical in its uncompromising attention to detail. In her Foreword, contest judge Louise Glück observes, “I know no poet whose sense of fraud, the inflated emptiness that substitutes for feeling, is more acute.” Glück calls Collins’ volume “savage, desolate, brutally ironic . . . a book of astonishing originality and intensity, unprecedented, unrepeatable.”
