Sight Lines

Sight Lines is the tenth poetry collection by Arthur Sze.

[1] The collection won the 2019 National Book Award for Poetry (USA).

[2] Judges of the prize praised Sze's "quiet mastery which generates beautiful, sensuous, inventive, and emotionally rich poems.

[4] In her review for The New York Times, Tess Taylor wrote, "This is a poetry of assemblage, where violence and beauty combine and hang on Sze's particular gift for the leaping non sequitur.

"[5] Florian Gargaillo of the Colorado Review praised Sze's philosophy represented through strikethroughs, writing, "It is this degree of self-questioning, this wariness of authority in himself and others, that makes Sze such a valuable poet for this moment.
