This is work of great and sustained attention, true intelligence, and soul.\" In \u003ci\u003eThe Sorrow Apartments\u003c\/i\u003e, Cohen's eighth collection, those signature gifts are front and center, along with sly humor, relentless economy, and the hairpin curves of gut-punch wisdom. How quickly Cohen takes us so far: \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eBunker\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e What would I \u003cbr\u003e think, coming \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e up after \u003cbr\u003e my world \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e had evaporated? \u003cbr\u003e I'd wish \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e I were water. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Sorrow Apartments\u003c\/i\u003e is home to spare and uncanny lyricism--as well as leaping narratives of mystery and loss and wonder. These poems race at once into the past and the possible. And yet, instead of holding things up to the light for a better view, Cohen lifts them to the dark and light, as in \"Acapulco,\" where an unlikely companion points out, \"as men tend to, \/ the stars comprising Orion's belt -- \/ as if it were the lustrous sparks and not \/ the leveling dark that connects us.\" For a poet who has been called unfashionable from the get-go, unfashionable never looked so good.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAndrea Cohen's poems have appeared in \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Atlantic Monthly\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003ePoetry\u003c\/i\u003e, T\u003ci\u003ehe Threepenny Review\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe New York Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e, and elsewhere.
