About this title

From the Author:

Maureen Seaton is the author of Fear of Subways, The Sea Among the Cupboards, and Furious Cooking, a winner of the Iowa Prize for poetry and the Lambda Book Award. Her work has appeared in the anthology The Best American Poetry 1997 and in such magazines as the Atlantic, Boston Review, New Republic, and the Paris Review. She lives in Chicago.

From Booklist:

Seaton produces prose poems, imperfectly rhymed terza rima, couplets of several different line lengths and stress patterns, and blank-verse-like paragraphs. In poems like "Vows of Chastity and Indulgence," she treads minefields of sexual development, and in poems anaphorically titled "When I Was . . .,"she spins out a satiric series. Instead of the laughter and sympathy otrher poets might evoke, Seaton elicits winces and alarm. Her prose poems are especially intense, provocatively wedding sex and violence or, like many of her verse poems, portraying the ecstasies of religious, sexual, or sheer physical exuberance. She risks unintelligibility but never boredom. Ray Olson
