Sam White Livres

Poetry. White, in his debut, reintroduces the Romantic sensibility, as well as extra-quiet meditation, into an American poetic era sorely lacking these qualities. "I am often close. // I am often a boy / absent the island." "The GODDESS OF THE HUNT IS NOT HERSELF is a thrilling love-and-guts battle between the so-called natural world and the belligerent fact of Sam White's imagination. The outcome is these beautiful troubling poems, and if they sometimes leave the world, they leave it a more terrifying and habitable place. A kiss may win out in the end, but language will never be safe again" - Peter Richards.

When Europeans arrived in North America, the average global temperature had dropped to lows unseen in millennia and its effects-famine, starvation, desperation, and violence-were stark among colonists unprepared to fend for themselves. This history of the Little Ice Age in North America reminds us of the risks of a changing and unfamiliar climate.
