Saint Worm, Hailey Leithauser's second poetry collection, collects-warmly, wickedly-earthly and unearthly creatures, including human beings. This is a collection unlike any other.

Winner of the Poetry Foundation First Book Award, Leithauser's astonishing first release is an exhilarating poetic journey that uses form to take readers to the heights of lyricism. Jumping from traditional verse to a more fragmented experimental form, Leithauser lets sharp objects speak for themselves and poses enigmatic questions in a melodic masterpiece that demands to be read aloud.
