Description
Here are poems that strike deep into the core of our shifting yearning lying selves. I've read nothing better in the field these last ten years. Angela Shaw is simply furiously miraculous. --Junot D az.
Angela Shaw's The Beginning of the Fields is a brilliant reminder of what distinguishes poetry from prose. Whether her focus is landscape, clothes, or the rituals of passion, her language is fresh, tense, alert, and keenly aware of the sonic and rhythmic pleasures it provides. Reader, dig in. --Billy Collins.
No blurb or excerpted line can truly capture the visceral, visionary grace of these poems. Can I just say Wow, can I just gasp as I did reading this magical poet for the first time? --Terrance Hayes
