Jody Gladding is a poet and translator, with five books of poems and forty translations from French. Her most recent book, I entered without words, appeared in the Princeton Series of Contemporary Poets (2022). Her awards include MacDowell and Stegner Fellowships, French-American Foundation Translation Prize, Whiting Writers’ Award, and Yale Younger Poets Prize. Her work explores the places where language and landscape converge.
Deeply invested in landscape, this book operates where landscape and language converge. It opens the page into a compositional field in which words appear as constellations to create multiple, interwoven meanings as they interact with each other and with the reader who moves freely among them, fully participating in the making of poems that are spatial, non-linear, and different every time.
