Book Overview
At the heart of Gail Mazur's The Common is the refusal to simplify what is paradoxical in our world and a recognition of the tensions in our own divided nature. These unflinching poems create a place where wisdom and foolishness, fear and courage, rage and pity, love and diffidence, naturally co-exist. Desire, ambition, devotion, and devastating loss are all subjects for Mazur's clear-eyed poems, which resonate with the contradictions...

It's such a pleasure to read a book of poems that's both moving and funny and completely accessible. Gail Mazur is one of the most HONEST poets writing today--unpretentious yet subtle. There are poems about family and identity, full of self-irony and wit. This is a truly enjoyable and enriching book by one of my favorite poets.
