With urgency and compassion, humor and wonder, Amanda Shaw's It Will Have Been So Beautiful implores us to consider what "home" means, particularly in the midst of an ever-worsening climate emergency. Sonically rich, the poems celebrate language's capacities, indicating hope that art might move us to a deeper commitment to life, in all its forms.Since receiving her MFA from the Warren Wilson Program for Writers in January 2020, Amanda Shaw has been a caretaker for her mother. A teacher for over 20 years, she also works as an editor at the World Bank and is the book review editor for Lily Poetry Review. Though she has lived in Brooklyn, Detroit, Geneva, and Rome, she currently divides her time between New Hampshire, where she was born, and Washington, D.C.
