My American Chair

A remarkable new collection by one of this country's best-loved poets.

White lies, hip replacements and ballet with a sawhorse. Parisian drycleaners and the brush of the grass in Central Park. In My American Chair, Elizabeth Smither leads us through serendipitous encounters, the uncanny in the ordinary, the intricacies of friendship and ruminations on mortality. Assured, intimate, witty, revealing this is a poetry collection to treasure from one of our most beloved voices.
