As the measured compositions of these poems shift, so do their near-sculptural forms, and a feeling both classical and contemporary develops as a result. At times a paean to poetry, other times a critique of it, \u003ci\u003eEarth\u003c\/i\u003e is a breakthrough collection by a poet whose ceaselessly sharp intellect continues to use poetry to gain insight into not only her own wants and needs, but ours, and those of poetry itself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHannah Brooks-Motl\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of the poetry collections \u003ci\u003eThe New Years\u003c\/i\u003e (2014), \u003ci\u003eM\u003c\/i\u003e (2015) and \u003ci\u003eEarth\u003c\/i\u003e (2019).
