A selection of recent work as well as the best from thirteen volumes of poetry published across four decades, Change of Address highlights the magnitude and scope of David Slavitt's poetic achievement. Meditating on both the quotidian and the sublime and ranging from brilliant satire to tender elegy, this retrospective collection brings into sharp relief Slavitt's intelligence, strength of voice, and ease in varied poetic forms. From the beginning of his career, Slavitt has displayed a rare technical virtuosity, and his verse has long confronted -- with urbanity and poise -- questions of love, grief, loss, and death. Though he is an exuberantly playful poet, his gamesmanship is earnest, toying wisely and bravely with the largest experiences of joy and heartbreak. And his gestures, while seemingly effortless, are carefully considered. The result is a body of poetry that haunts us as only the best literature can. A splendid capstone to Slavitt's copious output, Change of Address grants readers access to the extraordinary spectrum of his poetry in a single volume. body betrays, and even a mind can rebel, but against what? What remains? Slowly but surely, we are forced to suppose a soul, which serves us well, while we serve it unfaithfully and impurely. Infinitely regressive? Or merely shy? Call it what watches, suffers, and remains our subject/object, despite whatever pains we may impose upon it, an inner I.Or is it a mere fiction that one may admit as useful or even necessary? Its truth is theoretical, a series, a trend, almost algebraic: and one conjures it from the motes that fly in the thin air of his youth to create the granite block that marks his end. -- "Soul"

We stand on the precipice of human history as we know it. The clock is now ticking and it is minutes before midnight; the Bride Groom is near. Believers all over the world are living with expectancy that at any moment an Angel is going to sound a trumpet so loud that the dead in Christ shall rise first to meet the Lord in the Air. While those that remain or that are alive shall be Raptured (snatched) away to joined the others standing on the clouds to meet Jesus. There they will begin that great precessional to the kingdom of heaven singing and praising God. According to the prophetic timeline and the Book of Revelation, he that hath an ear let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the Churchthese are the last of the last days. The Church and the guardian of the church, the Holy Spirit is near that epic moment in which they will leave this world to take their place along side the Father and the Son. Once the redeemed and Gods precious Spirit is out of here, this world is in for an upheaval it has never known. The Anti-Christ will rise to prominence; he will dominate this world along with the False Prophet who will release demon spirits into the world and behead Christians. Jesus will come a second time, this time hes riding on a white horse leading an army of powerful Angels to capture Satan and bound him for a thousand years. Jesus will assume King Davids throne in Jerusalem and thus begin the Millennium reign. Following the thousand year reign of Christ, Satan will be loosed for a short while only to be ultimately defeated at the cataclysmic Battle of Armageddon where he will be cast in the lake of fire to burn forever. Human history, as we know it, closes with the New Earth and New Heaven coming down out of heaven from God as a bride adorned for her husband. It has been prepared before the foundation of the World. It is shining brighter than the sun with the glory of God. Her walls are made of precious pearls, her streets are paved in Gold that is so pure that it is transparent. The City has millions of mansions tailored for Gods Jewels (the Body of Christ). This is the New Jerusalem. It has 12 gates that are guarded by an Angel at each gate; the walls have 12 foundations and in each foundation are the names of the 12 Apostles of the Lamb. And the throne of God and the Lamb shall be in it. Make sure that you are in it.

Finalist for the 2020 Kirkus Prize for Nonfiction | One of Time Magazines's 100 Must-Read Books of 2020 | Longlisted for the 2020 Porchlight Business Book Awards "An entertaining quest to trace the origins and implications of the names of the roads on which we reside." —Sarah Vowell, The New York Times Book Review When most people think about street addresses, if they think of them at all, it is in their capacity to ensure that the postman can deliver mail or a traveler won’t get lost. But street addresses were not invented to help you find your way; they were created to find you. In many parts of the world, your address can reveal your race and class. In this wide-ranging and remarkable book, Deirdre Mask looks at the fate of streets named after Martin Luther King Jr., the wayfinding means of ancient Romans, and how Nazis haunt the streets of modern Germany. The flipside of having an address is not having one, and we also see what that means for millions of people today, including those who live in the slums of Kolkata and on the streets of London. Filled with fascinating people and histories, The Address Book illuminates the complex and sometimes hidden stories behind street names and their power to name, to hide, to decide who counts, who doesn’t—and why.
