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. ==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"). 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). ==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." 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. ==References==
