Synopsis
In his long-awaited follow-up to Crush, Yale Younger Poets award winner Richard Siken has created a collection of stunning power and beauty. With interwoven lyrics, fables, portraits and landscapes, Siken confronts the ways in which we look to art for meaning and purpose. “The paint doesn’t move the way the light reflects, / so what’s there to be faithful to? I am faithful / to you, darling. I say it to the paint.”
Through multiple layers of mirrors and refraction, the poems in War of the Foxes show the fallacies inherent in a search for truth, both in the world outside and within the self. Sometimes brutal, sometimes tender, Richard Siken has created another formidable, living work of poetry that will reinforce his reputation as one of the most exciting poets writing today.

J'ai été nettement déçu après Crush, ce recueil de 10 ans après est plus réfléchi mais peut-être réfléchit trop en rond... J'ai relu plusieurs fois certains poèmes sans m'en rendre compte, pas le meilleur signe
