Julie Gamberg’s award-winning book is a collection
with edges: a strange recurring character named Max,
a sky that “looms heavy as steel-toed boots,” tectonic
plates that “feel by water, glide by feel,” all illuminated
by a frank erotic blaze. Although it is her first, the
book has the texture and thematic subtlety of mature
work—a repository of assertions that rise like searing
iconic objects against the backdrop of an imaginative
natural history.

| Praise for The Museum of Natural History |
“Like a fine museum made of bricks and mortar,
The Museum of Natural History is a book filled
with objects, relics, all manner of things revelatory,
beautiful, correlative, and very much worth our
time and attention. And like a good curator, Julie
Gamberg offers us a collection of objects and
observations that illuminate the human condition
itself, in all its complexity and ruin and hope. As
the river says in one of the poems, ‘everything we
need is here.’ Just as it is in this book.” |
