Description
Born in New York in 1960, Eva Salzman published her first book of poetry, The English Earthquake, in 1992. Bargain with the Watchman, her second book of poems, is daring with language, alternately sexy, sassy, outspoken, and clever. Her energy, vitality, and capacity for satire persist in bold, candid poetry, often disconcerting, always compelling and controlled. This selection includes a two sequences, one of which, Masques, is a subversive look at the Muses, seen in crossed-dressed guise.
