I'm not sure when it was
I began to understand
the world's orders

Winner of the Vassar Miller Prize in Poetry

The twenty-nine poems in this, Holden's seventh poetry collection, are mainly epistemological, balancing adult desire against adult knowledge, dramatizing with painful accuracy the inevitable dissonance.

"The Sublime embodies a poetry that is personal and public, and shows through clear-cut imagery how varied our imagined and actual lives are. Everything seems to be woven into this ambitious collection: love, war, divorce, fear, anger, doubt, grace, beauty, terror, popular culture, nature. This poetry challenges us to remain (or become) whole in an increasingly fragmented world."

     —Yusef Komunyakaa, judge
