How an author can take mere words and turn them into such a
collection to touch the inner consciousness of anyone who picks up their work
always surprises and astounds me. Make that author a poet, condensing it all
into a few stanzas and collecting them into a book, and you have The Near and
Distant World by Bianca Stone. Though she says A metaphor no longer holds like
it used to in Old Bio in Snow, I have to disagree. She’s found metaphors that
hold.
The Near and Distant World was released January 13, 2026.
Thanks to NetGalley, and the publisher, Zando/Tin House, for the review copy.
