Description
This bold, sensual collection by the winner of the Grolier Prize and a PEN Discovery Award explores the ever-shifting ground between men and women.
Melding historical, sexual, and political themes, Janet Sylvester creates a map of America that is provocative and moving. Of this stunning collection A. R. Ammons writes, "This strong book will bring you home."
"Janet Sylvester's brilliantly time-layered poems take life on her own intricate and original terms. . . . Bracing, heartbreaking, mind-engaging poems — this book speaks eloquently to our current perplexity, and our perennial desire." — Eleanor Wilner
