Pink Reef chosen by Joyelle McSweeney for the Poetry Foundation’s National Poetry Month recommendations for “an older collection that remains a touchstone, the book that comes to mind first when they’re asked for a poetry rec.”
“I return to the sleek, beguiling sequence of Pink Reef (Canarium, 2013) by Robert Fernandez once or twice a year. Art, the body, the world, other people, cars, climate, sex, that thing the light is doing, out there in the bay, and whatever that thing is in the water, right there, with its sharp vivid eye and dumb flank—all that mundane ultimateness each moment must try to survive, and can't, like the lyric itself, and like us.”
—Joyelle McSweeney
