Fanny Howe's final work, completed just before her death in July 2025, This Poor Book gathers thirty years of writing into a single long poem — fractured, multitudinous, and alive. Turning inward on the self and outward at the world, it moves through spirit and conscience, doubt and faith, the brutality and beauty of modern life. A palimpsest of a lifetime's thought, assembled into what feels like both a reckoning and a gift. Published by Divided Publishing (2026)
