Description: Winner of the 2004 FIELD Poetry Prize, this most recent collection of poet Beckian Fritz Goldberg is a wry, elegant series of meditations on mortality and the body. Her poems are "breathtakingly beautiful and resolute in their conviction that words matter, especially in the fact of randomness and moral collapse." (Bruce Weigl)
Review Quotes: "There is a lot to be said for saying things straight, especially if, like Beckian Fritz Goldberg, you have the ear of an angel and a widely passionate regard for words. Not as much invented as it is discovered, this is the language Coleridge called 'a language that I have always known.'"
