Interrogation Palace

Interrogation Palace is a career-spanning selection of work from an important American poet, drawing upon each of David Wojahns six previous collections and a substantial gathering of new work. Moving fluently from personal history to public history, and from high culture to popular culture, Wojahns searching and restless poetry has been considerably acclaimed, both for the candor of its testimony and the authority of its formal invention. He is above all an elegiac poet, tender and ferocious by turns, whether mourning the loss of family and loved ones or the hopes and aspirations of the baby-boomer era. Interrogation Palace confirms David Wojahns status as one of the most inventive, passionate, and ambitious figures of his generation.
