LONGLISTED FOR THE 2024 NBCC AWARD IN POETRY
A taut, tender collection of poems woven with sadness and loss dealing with
aging, attachments, and the precarity of life.
“Dawn Lundy Martin’s poems read like a real-time excavation of what poetry can
and can’t do," writes Maggie Nelson. In Instructions for The Lovers , her most
stripped down, direct work to date, Martin creates a poetic field dense with
thought, image, and sound as she reflects on her relationship with her mother,
experiences of queer polyamory, lesbian sex, and the racist conditions within
the dying American university system. With rigorously embodied vulnerability and
virtuosity, Martin constructs moments of pleasure, humor, and sexiness woven
with grief—a tender body to live in.
