Synopsis
The seventh volume in the Swenson Award series, She Took Off Her Wings and Shoes is the first to bring the avant-garde to the series. Frequently multivocal, these poems juxtapose characters, times, and places by inventively varying fonts, spacings, type size, and other formal features of the printed page. Eclectic in subject, the book explores the meanings of both mythic and personal experience. The result is an energetic poetic sense in a tradition that goes back to Apollinaire, that finds as much to work with in the conventions of type as in the passions of the human heart.

About the Author
Nominated twice for the Pushcart Prize, Suzette Marie Bishop teaches writing at Texas A&M International University. Her poems have been published in a chapbook, Cold Knife Surgery, as well as in numerous literary journals—including Antioch Review, Aries, 13th Moon—and in the anthology The Virago Book of Birth Poetry. As a poet and teacher, Bishop gives many readings and workshops for gifted children, seniors, and other writers on the US/Mexico border, and works with at-risk youth in the rural Hispanic community.
