Let the World Have You

The new collection from RBC/PEN Canada New Voices Award winner Mikko Harvey. Mikko Harveys 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 Harveys 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.
