Joanna Klink
In Joanna Klink’s dreamlike sixth book, she turns her gaze to ordinary days and asks, What is the measure of a life? How should we weigh time, luck, love? Against the extreme terrain of Texas—with its soaring temperatures, ice storms, and flash floods—she tries to make sense of the loss of natural spaces, her father going blind, falling in love mid-life. Each of her poems embodies what Virginia Woolf described as “moments of being”: moments of awareness and intense feeling in which we become conscious of our connection to the world around us. Flickering between personal and ecological time, Klink’s poems deepen those connections even as the landscapes and relationships around her become less recognizable. Days & Chances lets us see the depths in everyday moments—and chances to live more fully.

Reseñas de la crítica
“This gorgeously textured volume is one of Klink’s finest yet.”
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“The extraordinary beauty of [Klink’s] poems, from the beginning, has resulted from a constantly refined attention to the ordinary and the daily.”
—Louise Glück
“Joanna Klink has given us Rilkean elegies haunted by ‘the love you feel for what you lost.’”
—Terrance Hayes
“To open a new book by Joanna Klink is to be dazzled. I come to her always compelling poetry, full of sensual acuity and beauty, as if to an unfailing well. A deft, questing descendant of Rilke, she [writes] an indispensable verse that feels both far-reaching and close at hand...that dares to coax the reader toward a newfound clarity and awe:
Sometimes when the rain at dusk shucks
the heat you make a home of rain
and are surrounded.
You make a home of dust and matches
and stay close to the night’s burning
boats. The smell of rain falling on dry ground
is the sound of all the houses.
Days & Chances is a consistently exquisite book by an entrancing and masterly poet.”
—Cyrus Cassells
“Joanna Klink’s elegant and powerful poems seem often preternaturally sensitive to even the most minute shifts of human interiority. Book by book, she has recalibrated the terms of the lyric meditation, letting her exquisitely nuanced deflections of syntax expose those often-shifting layers of instability at the core of experience. This is a poet capable of making luminous those delicate declensions of hope pulsing in our daily lives.”
—David St. John
“[T]he poems present a kind of frosted-glass effect across their subjects as though looking out from a fogged window in late autumn or early winter . . . This collection implores us to keep close record of our own days, our own chances, that won’t return to us, even if they are, at times, unpleasant, because we only get this one, glittering opportunity at existing here. Klink’s collection stands resiliently solid amidst each of its poem’s disappearing, and reappearing, acts like a flag, a little frayed, a little tattered, saying I am still here.”
