Poetry collection by Gregory Pardlo
Digest is a 2014 poetry collection by Gregory Pardlo published by Four Way Books. "Digest" won the 2015 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry and was a nominee for the 2015 Hurston/Wright Legacy Award and the 46th NAACP Image Award. Pardlo started work on the collection in 2004 "as an effort to mesh academic with creative writing."
Description and overview.
"Digest" can be described as a mix of free verse and prose poems.
Pardlo described the "running theme of the book" as "to take . . . things and to digest them and make them my own." This thematic line has also been described as a kind of identity formation, drawing on both national and personal history to define the limits of the collection's shared speaker.
