Poetry. Eve Packer's third volume of poetry encompasses her experiences of New York City from 2004 to now. From the ultimately personal aspect of female conversations to poetry memorializing and processing the large events of 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina, Eve covers life's moments in a book that is a diary in the form of a poem, a window to a world that is particularly New York. New NAILS is truly poetry of affirmation. Sometimes shocking but precise and infused with wit, wisdom and feeling, hip idiomatic language as alive on the page as on stage. Her observations startle, line breaks amuse, declarations astonish. This is what it means to be a woman living in the most dangerous/glamorous/historic city in the world.
