The Door: Poems

A book of fifty lucid, urgent poems from internationally acclaimed, award-winning, bestselling author Margaret Atwood.

In The Door, Margaret Atwood investigates the mysterious writing of poetry itself as well as the passage of time and our shared sense of mortality. The Door ranges in tone from lyric to ironic to meditative to prophetic, and touches on subjects both personal and political. Brave and compassionate, this collection interrogates the certainties that we build our lives on and reminds us once again of Atwood's unique accomplishments as one of the finest and most celebrated writers of our time.
