The Good Thief

Book • 1988
The Good Thief is Marie Howe's heralded debut collection of poems, selected by Margaret Atwood as a winner in the 1987 Open Competition of the National Poetry Series.

The collection delves into themes of relationship, attachment, and loss, seeking personal transcendence through highly original and deeply authentic poetry.

Many of the thirty-four poems appeared in prestigious journals such as The Atlantic, The American Poetry Review, Poetry, Ploughshares, The Agni Review, and The Partisan Review.

The poems often incorporate Biblical references and everyday human experiences to explore complex emotional and spiritual themes.
