<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"[Beasley's] lightness works best when it dapples her darkness--and when her darkness, as it often does, feels truly deep."--Abigail Deutsch, <em>Poetry</em><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>The winner of the 2009 Barnard Women Poets Prize--"These poems are fresh, crisp, and muscular. They are decisive and fearless. Every object, icon, or historical moment has a soul with a voice. In these poems these soulful ones elbow their way to the surface of the page, smartly into the contemporary now."--Joy Harjo, prize citation<br /><br /> from "The Piano Speaks"<br /><em>For an hour I forgot my fat self, <br /> my neurotic innards, my addiction to alignment.<br /> For an hour I forgot my fear of rain.<br /> For an hour I was a salamander<br /> shimmying through the kelp in search of shore, <br /> and under his fingers the notes slid loose<br /> from my belly in a long jellyrope of eggs<br /> that took root in the mud.</em><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Succeeds (to a tremendous level) at creating fascinating slices of reality and interesting characters. --Adam Palumbo"<br>
