Synopsis
Poetry. "Anderson has built THE HABITABLE WORLD slowly and with a steely calm. She is fearless and will not be hurried. Her poetry, like our world, embodies time. Reader, if you enter these poems, you will live inside them and they will live in you" - William Corbett. "With their gorgeous locutions and turns, their heady breath, Beth Anderson's poems haunt, inhabit, and conjure the world we carry and contemplate in our daily passage through landscape and language. This delicate world so disclosed is here made luminous in stunning detail" - Peter Gizzi.

From Publishers Weekly
Ready to admonish, fingers cocked,/ we wrote barter systems in the minutes but did not follow up./ your house is not/ your house but a group of stances taken together to indicate tenancy. In this set of lyrics, the Virginia-based Anderson delineates the outlines of a liveable, but not necessarily hospitable world, often in long lines that can recall Mei-Mei Bersenbrugge or Ann Lauterbach. When you flipped over/ I declined to follow this bookis resistence to dispossession is quiet, beautiful and firm.
