DESCRIPTION:
* Nominated for the Poets' Prize Mary Meriam is a rare and original poet. Mary doesn’t give a shit about Pound’s “don’ts,” she’s too busy writing fierce, gorgeous poems about love and pain. The uncanny is too engrained in her sensibility. The intensity of her writing will frighten you, but also her technical skill. - John Whitworth, British Poet. This is a dazzling book, a fusion of anguish and wit and song, written in clear and compelling language. But her real soulmate is Thomas Lovell Beddoes, the ultimate poet of the queer and scary whose masterpiece, Death’s Jest Book, was left appropriately unfinished. - Naomi Replansky, Author of The Dangerous World and Collected Poems
