Kim Addonizio

What Is This Thing Called Love

Poems

Poetry from the author of Tell Me, a finalist for the National Book Award.

From lilting lines about a love that "dizzies up the brain's back room" to haunting fragments betokening death and decline in a suffering world, Kim Addonizio articulates the ways that our connections—to the world, to self, and to others—endure and help make us whole.


Kim Addonizio lives in Oakland, California, and was a finalist for the National Book Award.
