Inhaltsangabe

Winner of the Prairie Schooner Book Prize in Poetry, Susan Gubernat&;s The Zoo at Night reflects with subtle craft on the dark side of love, death, the family romance, carnality, and lofty aspirations. She thinks of her poems as &;night thoughts&; resembling nocturnes, in which &;a bit of light leaks in.&;

Both experimental and classic, Gubernat&;s poems combine formal and free verse elements. A (mostly) unrhymed sonnet sequence seeks to recall the world of a pre-digital childhood when physical objects&;tactile, mechanical&;took on totemic import and magical significance. Other poems echo the Rilkean principle that poetry can be empathetic by looking outward at the &;thingness&; of the world. 

In these works of love and longing, Gubernat enters through the doors of craft and exits with feeling.
