The Italian Professor’s Wife by Ann Pedone, won the 2022 Press 53 Award for Poetry, plays out in the flat, liminal spaces of hotel rooms, trains stations, and restaurants. These are objectivist psychosexual vignettes-imagine Carl Rakosi doing erotica-but also meditations on time. Pedone’s poetry is full of odd charm and engaging particularity. -Drew Gardner
