In this 2017 interview at Claremont Graduate University, Marianne Boruch talks about her 2011 collection, The Book of Hours, for which she won the Kingsley Tufts Poetry Award, and how poetry remains a “mysterious form” and creates a space where “it’s a pleasure to be elsewhere.” Boruch is the recipient of the 2026 Jackson Poetry Prize.
