"A monumental collection . . . No matter how well you know Komunyakaa's poetry, you'll find this collection an illuminating retrospective, and if you're new to him, this is the place to start." --Ron Charles, The Washington Post

"This dazzling collection makes a definitive case for the Pulitzer Prize-winning Komunyakaa as a monumental and singular American voice. A jazzy master of enjambment and arresting opening lines, Komunyakaa synthesizes natural history, myth, and wide-ranging intellectual curiosity into sensory acts of witness . . . In this roving survey of history and nature, violence often meets beauty, but Komunyakaa never forgets how 'The body remembers / every wish one lives for or doesn't.'" --Publishers Weekly (Starred review)

"Twenty years of new and previously published poems combine to create an impressive new volume by Pulitzer Prize-winner Komunyakaa. The new work ushers the reader into the rhythmic meditations on topics that include racial violence, memory, and the duality of moments that are both ephemeral and timeless . .. Komunyakaa's gift for beautifully revealing the godly alongside the earthly, the realistic alongside the surreal, is superbly showcased in this well-curated and essential collection." --Booklist (Starred review)

"Yusef Komunyakaa's poems reveal a unique understanding of the landscape of morality and justice in America; this collection brings together some of his most essential from the last two decades, a gift for both fans and newcomers alike. The result is a well-deserved testament to the power and weight of his work." --Lit Hub

"The Pulitzer Prize winner Yusef Komunyakaa again demonstrates why he is a giant of American poetry . . . Everyday Mojo Songs of Earth demonstrates Komunyakaa's skill in using words to paint scenes not only with great emotional insight but a researched and understated worldliness as well, threading connections originally unseen and piecing together verses that come alive whether they are read silently alone or recited aloud in front of a crowd." --Avenue

"Komunyakaa is already a legendary figure in American poetry, beloved for his subtle ear and unflinching confrontations with the traumas of the past and present. This late-career retrospective finds the poet, now in his 70s, recalling the past with a new urgency, savoring the present, and preparing as well as he can for what comes next." --Craig Morgan Teicher, NPR
