Poetry. Winner of the 2008 Dorothy Brunsman Poetry Contest. "Here is a book addressed to origins: to first things; to first springs into the turbulence of real conversation. Cowles is a poet who knows where poetry comes from and whither it is bound. Hers is the adventure of tenderness brightly underway"--Donald Revell. "Kathyrn Cowles here touches on everything that is important to me ... In these pages, language is the field and the ammunition, it is the seriousness of the human world and the arrows that pierce that veil with funny and tender precision"--Eleni Sikelianos.
