Description
Poetry. Winner of the Kore Press 2002, selected by Jane Miller. "In subjects ranging from the expulsion of the Jews in the fifteenth century to intimacies between contemporary lovers, we are made to feel our own needs and terrors expressed, our own cities left behind. These poems are transparent, yet everywhere reflect things and people darkly, in emergency."—Jane Miller
