Inhaltsangabe

Shift traces the love between two women over several years and explores the intricacies of family relationships. Jeredith Merrin's poems, moving from ecstatic love lyrics to poems of familial affection and damage, to grave, more mature love poems, are psychologically loaded and technically sophisticated. These poems convey a wonderful sense of the sexual and social complexity of human relationships.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Jeredith Merrin's Shift is aptly titled---from the first page we are tilted, spun, and swept away on waves of waking dream. Time is banished and the spaces inhabited by families and lovers are rebuilt in the subtle architectures of memory. Jeredith Merrin is master of the space, velocity, and lost gravity of our longing: she is a natural painter, an intuitive and astonishing lyric poet.
