Geographic and lyrical, Jen Silverman's Bath communicates complex insights into the landscapes of relationships.

Renowned author Jen Silverman's poetry collection investigates desire, memory, and longing through ever changing geographies.

Bath presents a past love in its many complex shades. Silverman's mastery over language and word choice capture each new setting with a mix of subtlety and open desire.

Jen Silverman tackles one of poetry's most profound topics, love, in bold new ways by showering readers in physical landscapes and beautifully rendered geographies. These spaces and places add nuance and tactile grooves to a relationship and its effect on Silverman.

Readers looking for a new vantage point into the themes of love and desire can do no better than Bath.

This collection also features a bespoke interview with the writer at then end of the book, delving deeper into the craft, influences, and life behind their work.

Industry Reviews

"Jen Silverman's poems are baptisms of desire. They've traveled the world and come back to tell you the pleasure to be found there, the holes of each leaving, the way it is all 'drenched in light and wine.' Economical in syntax and generous in image, Bath astonishes at every turn with its heart, its wisdom, its waters."

- Traci Brimhall, author of our lady of the ruins

"I have a crush on Jen Silverman's language. This multi-hyphenate wordsmith writes poetry that sings with silver fish scales, bathes in love, hopes for redemption. I'll read with ardor anything Silverman writes, in any genre."

- Sarah Ruhl, playwright of Eurydice

"Jen Silverman's Bath moves through you like 'a weather system/ of love.' In its wake, you will rise from the storm cellar of these poems, squint at the sun, and marvel at how fresh the air seems and how it buzzes with hope."

- Tom¡s Q. Morn, author of Machete
