New Nudity

Hadara Bar-Nadav's radiant new collection of poetry, The New Nudity, shocks everyday objects to life. In these chiseled, electrically-charged poems, a ladder, wineglass, and spine ignite into being. With a nod to Francis Ponge, Gertrude Stein, and Pablo Neruda, Bar-Nadav's poems have a heartbeat all their own, small miracles that haunt and heave.
