Kay Ryan is acclaimed for her highly relatable, deeply insightful poems. Erratic Facts is her first new collection since the Pulitzer Prizewinning The Best of It, and it is animated with her signature swift, clearheaded, lyrical style.

At once witty and melancholy, playful and heartfelt, Ryan examines enormous subjectsexistence, consciousness, love, lossin compact poems that have immensely powerful resonance. Her sly rhymes and strong cadences convey both musicality and wisdom. While these pieces are composed of the same brevity and vitality that have characterized her singular voice over the course of more than twenty years, her imagination is more eccentric and daring than ever. Erratic Facts solidifies Ryans place at the pinnacle of American poetry.
