Let the World Have You
About this book
The new collection from RBC/PEN Canada New Voices Award winner Mikko Harvey.
Mikko Harvey's new collection invites readers into a world that is and is not the world we know. In poems at once surreal, satiric, and tender, we encounter a cast of surprising non-human characters — the bear who sells herbal remedies, the politically influential lizard, the mean butterfly — yet at the core of this book is Harvey's impulse to confront the challenges of human intimacy. Let the World Have You is a vibrant report on the ways in which we are delightfully, awkwardly, heartbreakingly entangled: with each other, with the environment we inhabit, and with the psychological environments that inhabit us.

SPRING
I opened the car door and noticed
a sparrow sitting in the passenger seat.
Howdy, I said.
Howdy.
And I drove for eleven hours, through three states, attended the funeral, slept on the couch, heard the whispers, ate the brunch, folded the sheet, hugged, hugged,
and opened the car door and noticed
a sparrow sitting in the passenger seat.
Howdy, I said.
Howdy.
WIND-RELATED RIPPLE IN THE WHEATFIELD
I love the shape of our apartment
as I walk through it in near-total darkness.
I love walking slowly through that darkness
with my arms out, trying not to bump
into furniture. How many apartments
have I done this in now? I loved
them all. Or possibly I just loved
