Winner of the 2003 National Book Award for Poetry for The Singing and the 2000 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry for Repair. Collection of poetry exploring a range of subjects and emotions, from animals and rural life to shrapnel in Iraq and sudden desire on the Paris Metro. "Williams' poems enter the brain with such force and velocity, you don't so much read as ride them. But for all their propulsion, every element stays in sharp focus: mindscapes of fractal intricacy." –Donna Seaman, Booklist (starred review).
