ISBN: 1889330442 ISBN-13: 9781889330440 Publisher: Sarabande Books OUR PRICE: $19.90 Product Type: Hardcover - Other Formats Published: April 2000 Annotation: In Curios, her first collection of poetry, Judith Taylor emerges as the speediest meditative poet since Emily Dickinson. Her poems set off for all the worthy old ontological destinations, but what new routes they discover! Like Dickinson, Taylor can cover more ground in eight lines than most poets manage in eighty, but her rapid transit is accomplished without loss of density or emotional resonance. The volume's title, Curios, is remarkably apt. With unexpected images and questions reminiscent of childhood, Taylor riddles the surface of perception. These poems prove that curiosity -- and imagination -- will get the best of us. |
