Hello I Must Be Going: Poems

Description

Finalist, 2023 NBCC Award for PoetryFinalist, 2022 California Book Award for Poetry

Hello I Must Be Going, David Hernandez's fifth collection of poems, offers a unique take on poetry informed by works of art, in particular the work of artist Ed Ruscha. With narrative and lyrical brushstrokes, Hernandez crafts vibrant landscapes that depict the chaos of the modern world and the beauty entwined within it. Hello I Must Be Going pulses with originality. This is a book of our time, and of time itself--of unrest, loss, grief, and "this endless parade / shimmering toward silence."
