Anne Stevenson is noted for the variety of her work and voice, both of which range widely. The poems included in this new collection question belief and identity, and offer a compelling look at ordinary people confronting a world no longer obscured by human-centered assumptions. Also at work here is a fresh insight, one informed by contemporary science, which delves into the everyday plight of real individuals. A fierce new tone of realism pervades this strong, original, independant-minded collection. Media > Book, [PU: Oxford University Press]<
