Description: "'Gilbert's poems are beautifully situated at the intersection of craft and feeling.'-- Billy Collins In this rapacious world, we eat or are eaten--so poet-critic Sandra M. Gilbert suggests throughout Judgment Day, her tenth collection of poems. Tracing this theme through the range of histories that make us who we are--private, public, religious, artistic, even culinary--Gilbert meditates on recent events as well as the sacred turnings of time, great works of graphic art, and the personal crises that continually reshape our lives. Bringing together physical and metaphysical, elegy and celebration, Judgment Day is rich with Gilbert's signature grace and insight"--
