Summary
A masterful new collection of poetry from the winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the Ruth Lilly Prize
The poems in Carl Dennis’s thirteenth collection, Night School, are informed by an engagement with a world not fully accessible to the light of day, a world that can only be known with help from the imagination, whether we focus on ourselves, on people close at hand, or on the larger society.

Critics Review
Praise for Carl Dennis’s Another Reason
“The poems in Another Reason, Carl Dennis’s twelfth book of poems, open slowly and deepen with each reading … What he has to offer readers willing to take the time to walk and reason with him awhile is both profound and moving … Do yourself a favor: get this book and read it. Twice.”
– Carol Niederlander, Pleiades

It’s another way of thinking as well as feeling, another way to reason through the choices we’ve made or will make.” – James Scruton, Valparaiso Poetry Review
