Goddess on the Mervue Bus (Salmon poetry)

For the past decade Higgins' strong, clear poetic voice has challenged and revitalized literary norms. With this, her first publication originally issued in 1986, Higgins was instantly recognized as a powerful force for change. ""There are not many books of poems of which I can say that I remember the day, the month, the year when I read them...Goddess on the Mervue Bus was such a book...it lit a fire in my heart"" - Paul Durcan.
