How Many Miles to Babylon? (Lily Poetry Review, 2023) is a new poetry collection from Anne Elezabeth Pluto, a faculty member in the Woods College of Advancing Studies. Pluto ponders sorrow, grief, and endurance in what is described as “an ambitious collection that navigates the political and the personal with equal aplomb—past and present wars in her ancestral homeland, homages to her literary idols, memories of friends and teachers from childhood, and most poignantly, elegies for the speaker’s beloved partner.” Pluto’s other publications include Lubbock Electric, Benign Protection, and The Deepest Part of Dark.
