Jan Beatty

Jackknife (eBook, ePUB)

New and Selected Poems

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In Jackknife: New and Selected Poems, Beatty travels the turns and collisions of over twenty years of work. She moves from first-person narratives to poems that straddle the page in fragments, to lines that sprawl with long lines of train tracks. Always landing in meaning, we are inside the bodynot in a confessional voice, not autobiographybut arriving through the expanded, exploded image of many stories and genders.
