These often long-form, expansive poems take many shapes and modes, including prose poem sequences, sestinas, kaddishes, and obituaries. No matter the form it inhabits, however, Altfeld's voice is unmistakable and one-of-a-kind. Whether considering mythical creatures, historical lives, or contemporary culture, Altfeld's poems are hilarious and deeply moving, somehow, at the same time. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeather Altfeld is the author of \u003cem\u003eThe Disappearing Theatre\u003c\/em\u003e, which won the 2016 Poets at Work Prize, selected by Stephen Dunn.
