Inhaltsangabe

“Perillo&;s poetic persona is funny, tough, bold, smart, and righteous. A spellbinding storyteller and a poet who makes the demands of the form seem as natural as a handshake.&;—Booklist

“The poems [are] taut, lucid, lyric, filled with complex emotional reflection while avoiding the usual difficulties of highbrow poetry.&;—The New York Times Book Review

MacArthur Genius Award winner Lucia Perillo is a fearless poet who, with characteristic humor and incisive irony, confronts the failings and wonder of nature, particularly the frail and resilient human body. This generous collection draws upon five previous volumes, including books selected as a New York Times “100 Notable Books of the Year&; and as a finalist for the Pulitzer prize.

but that it is mortifying. When we were young they taught us

from scratching off the juicy scab?...
