The Dazzling Land - $14.95
by Brigitte Byrd
"These poems are so deeply imagined, so funny and profane, so formally inventive, there is little here that does not burn sharply with the experience of truth. This book represents one of the most fully realized portraits of the self I’ve read in a long time, a vigorous mirroring of consciousness...." —David Dodd Lee Read More
