这是一本挽诗集，作者世界畅销小说家（Fugitive Pieces, The Winter Vault）和诗人。

在《我们所看见的》这本诗集中，Anne Michaels重新用引人注目的原创诗探索了她最关心的一个主题：“爱赋予我们的能力和我们被爱剥夺的能力。”这本尖锐的简短诗集用一种朴实、简单，在准确性上近乎典雅的风格探讨了欲望这个主题。这些抒情诗思考两个相爱的人的身体发生的变化——在一起的时候充满活力，分开的时候又是那么不一样，总有一个人要先走一步。Michaels既描述了两个人之间关系的亲密性，也探讨了这种关系的广阔性。

Poems of elegy in the aftermath of a great love from the internationally best-selling, award-winning novelist (Fugitive Pieces, The Winter Vault) and poet.

In All We Saw, Anne Michaels returns with strikingly original poems to explore one of her essential concerns: "what love makes us capable of, and incapable of." Here are the ways in which passion must accept, must insist, that "death . . . give / not only take from us." This piercing short collection treats desire in a style that is chaste, spare, figuratively modulated, and almost classical in its precision. In lyrics that ponder what happens to the bodies of lovers--so vital when together, different when apart, death coming to one before the other--Michaels embraces both the intimacy and the vastness of the connection between two people. Love's sheltering understanding is a powerful presence in all the poems, with its particular imagery (the ringing fog, the white page of the bed), as is the shattering loss of its end. With Michaels, we enter a space that is "not inside / not outside: dusk's / doorway," where memory might be kept alive.
