Poetry. "Forget New York poetry. Forget Language poetry. Forget desires for a totalizing poetics. Fuhrman is a leader in the particular, in 'infra-surrealism.' She taboos nothing; no form impedes her complete wit. This full poetry is not only 'feminine, marvelous, and tough,' but subtle, searching, and wounded--sexual, social, and smart. Fuhrman celebrates new truth-telling, an art of the spectacular pageant"--David Shapiro.

Author City: BROOKLYN, NY USA
