Description

This collection, coming from the pen of one of the most prolific and highly-esteemed American poets of the twenty-first century. It will not disappoint the reader craving for new imagery, verse, as well as classical references. The author proudly displays her capacity at meter and rhyme, as well as her mastery of free verse. A well-read reader of classics will be able to discern allusions to Ovid, Shakespeare, T.S. Eliot, Hart Crane, Emily Dickinson, the British Romantic writers, but also to the Beat Generation and beyond. This collection is truly rich, unique in poetic breadth, and conceptual freedom. There are few living artists in the English tongue who have mastered the craft of wordsmithing and spread their canvass-mirror to the world as well as Sarah Fisher.
