Guests of Space
Poems by Anselm Hollo

"Wry observations, sly citations, and witty riffs . . . Razor poems, wise, sorrowful and beautifully pitched."—Chicago Review

In Guests of Space, Hollo hangs his poetic hat upon the sonnet, graciously inviting us into his conversation with poets and thinkers, both here and gone, on subjects that range from environmentalism to the WTO protests, from wars waged in Kosovo and Iraq to questions of creativity and mortality. With trademark wit, clarity, and intelligence, Hollo's contribution to this multigenerational, international choir is one of the most important and enjoyable in contemporary letters.
