THE SONG CAVE

Hereafter

By Alan Felsenthal.

The eagerly awaited second collection of tender, considerate poems by The Song Cave editor Alan Felsenthal

Six years ago, Alan Felsenthal’s Lowly was heralded in the Boston Review for its “dreamlike fables and quasi-parables … [a] striking debut collection [that] bypasses many of contemporary poetry’s usual movements, feints and sources.” Now, Felsenthal’s poignant second collection of poems, Hereafter, moves between the difficult work of mourning and the spirited nature of life. Both an elegy for a dear friend and a search for signs of renewal, these poems recover pastoral symbols of sorrow from cliché. Essential in their attempt at consolation, Felsenthal's requiems traverse landscapes—the ocean, the earth and the moon—using both humor and pathos to awaken the depths of feeling that follow loss.
Alan Felsenthal is the author of Lowly (Ugly Duckling Presse, 2017). He currently serves as the head of The Song Cave. His writing has appeared in BOMB, the Brooklyn Rail, Harper’s, the New York Review of Books and the New York Times Magazine. He teaches poetry at NYU Tandon School of Engineering.


PRAISE AND REVIEWS

Electric Literature

Skylar Miklus

Blending the pastoral and the elegiac, Felsenthal interrogates the impact of humanity on nature. His poems are infused with diverse sceneries: the ocean, the moon, and the desert. His voice is tender and hopeful for a better future.

Academy of American Poets

A meditative collection that is full of life—crawling with plants and animals, and exploring how the human body exists among these life forms.

Publishers Weekly

These profound yet accessible poems offer solace and insight to those navigating an unsettled existence.

Lit Hub

Rebecca Morgan Frank

These poems revel in solitary spaces.

The Backroom

Tom Bowden

Sparely punctuated, often using internal rhymes and slant rhymes to cohere the images, Hereafter provides gentle explorations of how to live, the metaphysics of a good existence.

McSweeney's

Jesse Nathan

There’s a dreamy and appealing naturalism to Alan Felsenthal’s elegy, 'Hereafter.' The poems are electric and vivid.
