The Door

A book of poetry from internationally acclaimed, award-winning, and bestselling author Margaret Atwood.

In fifty lucid, urgent poems, 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, The Door interrogates the certainties that we build our lives on and reminds us once again of Margaret Atwood's unique accomplishments as one of the finest and most celebrated writers of our time.
