Velocity

Winner of the 2006 Agnes Lynch Starrett Poetry PrizeSelected by Gerald SternVelocity time travels through memory and conjecture, yet Krygowski's poems—often sad, sometimes humorous, always generous—return us continually to the beautiful and difficult here-and-now. Lovingly grounded in the ordinary, these are thinking poems—tightly crafted, accessible inquiries more interested in exploring stark and complicated knowledge than in proclaiming it. The poems, which use a sister's death as a touchstone, dwell in the overlap of emotions. Loss touches happiness, desire touches fear, love touches futile knowing. Krygowski's unstoppable energy for seeking and revealing disparate thoughts and emotions makes the collection wholly human. This fresh, surprising voice speaks for the intelligent heart in each of us.
