April is National Poetry Month. What better way to celebrate than to read a good book of
poems! And here it is — Grace Bauer's Retreats and Recognitions, a new
collection that takes its inspiration from the wonders of New Orleans and the
wilds of Nebraska. Bauer's voice is distinct, vivid, impossible to forget.
Poet Robert Pack says,
"Bauer's poems probe the dark landscapes between impression and apprehension, the past
and its repetition though imaginative transformation, impulse and restraint. Her delivery
is tough and terse; her imagery is fresh and often startling." Jesse Lee Kercheval
describes her as a poet of "rare power."
And Nebraska's own Terese Svoboda says, simply, "You lucky reader, you."
Grace Bauer is the author, most recently, of Beholding Eye, Field Guide to the Ineffable, and Umpteen Ways of Looking at a Possum, a collection of essays she edited with Julie Kane honoring the work of late poet Everette Maddox. Click on the poet's name for more information about Grace Bauer. |
