An exquisite and often humorous catalogue of poems that offer an array of ways we might see the world and by extension, our place in it.
Sarah Schwartz's beautiful debut collection of poems, The Calling, contends that we are each called to a way of seeing the world. Moving from the microscopic view of a chemist to the macroscopic view of a geologist, the mathematical view of an architect to the exuberant view of a painter, these poems both delight in and resist the notion of an occupation. Schwartz writes: We are made of many strange shapes, and we don't even think about it. These poems ponder our abundant strangeness and don't shy away from what is most radical about human existence.
