Through the empty air

Dearly

🕊️ 🕊️ 🕊️
Margaret Atwood, author of The Handmaid's Tale, returns with a moving new collection of poetry:
This time, she assassinated with poetry!
.
"You sound like a bird. / You stop calling, but sadness keeps on calling. / It leaves you and flies away / Across the fields on a cold night, / searching endlessly, / Across the river, / Through the air that has nothing."
.
These poems were written between 2008 and 2019. During those eleven years, the world grew darker. I grew older. People close to me passed away.
Let us all remain hopeful.
—Margaret Atwood
【Content Introduction】
A language class in her youth, a drawer of old passports, a bird that accidentally hit the window glass and died... These extremely daily details of life are the inspiration points for Atwood to start writing poetry.
Through the Air of Nothingness is a complete collection of 57 poems written by Margaret Atwood between 2008 and 2019. Every word, every rhythm, and every imagination in the poems, along with the poet's mourning for the dead and the vanished, extends a dangerous invitation to everyone: please flap the wings of your memory vigorously and dive into the difficult and mysterious realm of time, nature, love, and death.

【Praise from all walks of life】
Atwood returns with a scathing and intelligent masterpiece. She blends dignified vulnerability, poetic whimsy, and unwavering realism to create an unforgettable collection of poems that gives readers the courage to embrace disillusionment. —Publishers Weekly
This collection of poems deserves an adjective to be coined for Atwood—Atwoodesque—to match her unique style. —Chicago Tribune
In "Through the Air of Nothingness," Atwood draws inspiration from a wide range of sources, from the intoxicating joys of nature to fantastical events about zombies, but the themes of these poems are familiar: love, loss, desire, and the inevitability of the passage of time. Atwood blurs the boundaries of our perception and asks us to trust our feelings. - Time
Atwood is a remarkable poet. This beautiful and moving new collection of poetry, her first in more than a decade, offers a poignant reflection on life and death, time and change, nature and the dead. Even those familiar only with Atwood's novels will likely be captivated by its powerful imagery and atmosphere. —The Washington Post
This collection of poems shows us Atwood at the peak of her poetry. The more details Atwood uses, the more she can connect a larger world with her unique and sharp imagination. - The New York Times Book Review
Atwood first published her work as a collection of poetry; decades later, she has injected this latest collection of poetry with the same unflinching humor and unwavering clarity that often characterizes her novels. These poems are full of surprising juxtapositions and sly and varied language, sometimes sharp, often funny, but never shy. - Booklist
Atwood's poems are vibrant, brilliant, sharp, and accessible; they will undoubtedly become classics of our turbulent times. - The Scotsman
Through the Air is a treasure trove. It tackles a wide range of themes, including memory, women's rights, environmental crises, and bereavement. It's thought-provoking and entertaining, with a melancholy and a touch of hope. I highly recommend it, even if you're not a poetry lover. —Goodreads reader
