Items related to Double Agent
Poetry. Women's Studies. Winner of the 2011 First Book Award for Poetry, selected by Bhanu Kapil. DOUBLE AGENT reveals the author's pet obsession: the comforts and dangers of community. While the poems rove across a range of territories—embassies, subdivisions, cottages, islands, compounds real and imagined—what emerges is a concern with borders, how they materialize in the personal and the political as well as their relationship to physical and psychological security. A secondary question is how the poetic self can move, sometimes queasily, sometimes bombastically, always uncertainly, through them.

Review:
"In this vivid, near-submerged or dream-like world, I paid particular attention to the ways in which containment and incompetence were worked out by the writer, both as values and behaviors. These poems fell into my eyes." —Bhanu Kapil, poet, The Vertical Interrogation of Strangers
"A poet alert to every least quiver in the inner and outer worlds; the grace, gusto, humor, and intimacy of these richly vivid and unusually quotable poems are the most generous of gifts. Double Agent is an altogether enthralling debut." —Gary Lutz, author, Stories in the Worst Way
"Michelle Chan Brown's collection takes us on journeys across continents by way of hard fact combined with the subtlest of strangeness, the eeriest musicality, and the most startling of shifts and observations. Hers is an entirely new vision and voice. This collection is a real achievement, but, most of all, it is haunting." —Laura Kasischke, author, Space, in Chains
