Description: Poetry. Winner of the APR/Honickman First Book Prize, Anne Marie Macari's tender poems have drawn warm praise from Thomas Lux, Jean Valentine, and the contest judge Robert Creeley. The wonders here are those of perception, intuition, union, separation—and all the emotions these provoke. Anger, despair, but also joy, love in its flooding recognitions, relief in the world's insistent substance —Robert Creeley, from his introduction.
