3 Sections is a 2013 poetry collection written by Vijay Seshadri and published by Graywolf Press. It won the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry in 2014.[1]
Description
3 sections is mostly made up of free verse poems, though the collection notably includes a prose piece ("Pacific Fishes of Canada") and a long-form poem ("Personal Essay").[2] Despite the collection's title, the divisions between the eponymous "3 Sections" remain ambiguous, possibly separated into "divisions of contemporary life—a wayward history, an indeterminate future, and a perpectual long to out-think time" or divided by form (free verse poems / prose / long poem).[2][3]
Reception and Critical Engagement
The Pulitzer citation for the collection called the book,
- "a compelling collection of poems that examine human consciousness, from birth to dementia, in a voice that is by turns witty and grave, compassionate and remorseless."[1]
Lauren Hilger in Green Mountain Review argued that the collection's inclusion of an essay-like prose piece is a call for readers to reevaluate their definitions of poetry.[4]
