Arda Collins is the 2008 winner of the annual Yale Series of Younger Poetscompetition. Mesmerizing and electric her volume It Is Daylight reads as aseries of dramatic monologues articulated in the privacy of an enclosed space.The poems are concrete and yet metaphysically challenging both witty anddespairing. Collins emotional complexity and uncommon range make this debutboth thrillingly imaginative and ethical in its uncompromising attention todetail. In her Foreword contest judge Louise Gluck observes I know no poetwhose sense of fraud the inflated emptiness that substitutes for feeling ismore acute. Gluck calls Collins volume savage desolate brutally ironic . .. a book of astonishing originality and intensity unprecedentedunrepeatable. «
