What the House Knows is an anthology of 116 poems by 116 poets, poets such as Ted Kooser, Alice Friman, Billy Collins, Tracy K. Smith, Jan Beatty, and George Bilgere. Each poem features a house. Throughout the collection, you will find a variety of houses: old age homes, a schoolhouse, an outhouse, an abandoned farmhouse, rented apartments, and even a doghouse. The poems tell stories and hit the heart. There are poems about losing a house to fire, moving out of a house after divorce, remembering people who once lived in the house. You will also find a variety of people inhabiting the houses. And you will find poems in a variety of forms. As you move from poem to poem, from house to house, walk through the rooms known in Italy as stanzas. Listen to what the walls have to say.
