In these poems about the death of his mother, Sexton charts the familiar levels of Super Mario World, whose flowered landscapes bleed into our world-- and ours, strange with loss, bleed into it. This moving, otherworldly narrative is a daring exploration of memory, grief, and the necessity of the unreal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eStephen Sexton's first book, If All the World and Love Were Young was the winner of the Forward Prize for Best First Collection in 2019 and the Shine \/ Strong Award for Best First Collection.
