Paperback, 63 Pages, Published 2006 by Four Way
ISBN-13: 978-1-884800-69-6, ISBN: 1-884800-69-6

"“This book is for those of us who want to read more poetry but are frequently stopped by its--what is it? Its chilly self-seriousness?

Either way, Sarah Manguso, like her spiritual siblings David Berman and Tony Hoagland, is a friendly kind of savior and guide. Her writing is gorgeous and cerebral (imagine Anne Carson) but she doesn't skimp on the wit (imagi ..."

"Poetry.
