Learning is the one perfect religion, its path correct, narrow, certain, straight. --from Allegiance Over twenty years, Elizabeth Alexander has become one of America's most exciting and important poets, and her selection as the inaugural poet by President Barack Obama confirmed her place as one of the indispensable voices of our time.

The result is the definitive volume to date by this American master. |
