Finalist for the 2020 Pulitzer Prize in Poetry

"Clear, compelling and insightful." —Washington Post

Earthy and lyrical, Only as the Day Is Long draws from Dorianne Laux's five expansive, award-winning volumes and includes twenty new odes that pay homage to the poet's mother. Exploring experiences of survival and healing, of sexual love and celebration, Only as the Day Is Long represents a bold and brilliant body of work from a "poet of immense insight and masterful craft" (Kwame Dawes).
