Poulin, Jr., Poetry Prize. In hisforeword he writes, \"I was immediately struck by the boldness ofimagination, the strange cadences, and wild music of these poems. We should beglad that young poets like Keetje Kuipers are making their voices heard not bytearing up the old language but by making the old language new.\"KeetjeKuipers, a native of the Northwest, earned her BA at Swarthmore College and MFAat the University of Oregon. A Stegner Fellow at Stanford University, shedivides her time between Stanford and Missoula, Montana. From Devils LakeJournal: \"Keetje Kuipers' \"Beautiful in the Mouth\" is at oncelovely, frank, and haunting. The poems move easily between landscapes,inhabiting the American west, Paris, and New York City with equal ease and yet,they never exploit sympathies of locale for their power. Instead, they rely onnothing but the speaker's own candor, who is able to speak through suchdisparate poems as \"Bondage Play as Substitue for Prayer\" alongside\"Waltz of the Midnight Miscarriage,\" \"Reading Sappho in a WineBar,\" and \"Barn Elegy\" with a good spattering ofhonest-to-goodness sonnets.\" From ForeWord Reviews: \"The poems move likeghosts themselves: disappearing into walls, circling back, appearing for amoment to be captured, then evaporating into thin air. Kuipers pins momentsonto the page with the care of an etymologist collecting rare specimens. Herpoems are at once visceral and cosmic, \"a wave as well as a particle.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47925045788830,"sku":"ING-9781934414330","price":30.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781934414330.jpg?v=1782958174","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781934414330","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
