Editor-in-Chief, powerhouse poet, and all around love, Elizabeth Powell’s newest book Willy Loman’s Reckless Daughter gets a nice mention in The New Yorker’s “Books We Loved 2016“!
Here’s Major Jackson on the collection:
“Elizabeth Powell’s “Willy Loman’s Reckless Daughter” is a daring hybrid collection that deftly melds lineated verse, agile prose, and striking monologues. In posing a single question—What if Loman had an illegitimate daughter?—she pivots our staid understanding of Arthur Miller’s classic play “Death of a Salesman” and the easy dramas that besiege families.”
Congrats, Liz!
