Ivory Cradle

Poetry. Winner of the APR/Honickman First Book Prize, Anne Marie Macari's tender poems have drawn warm praise from Thomas Lux, Jean Valentine, and the contest judge Robert Creeley. The wonders here are those of perception, intuition, union, separation—and all the emotions these provoke. Anger, despair, but also joy, love in its flooding recognitions, relief in the world's insistent substance. —Robert Creeley, from his introduction. <em>from Google Books</em>

First sentence: NOW AND AGAIN one comes upon a story so quietly and articulately told that it stays in mind long after, echoing, recasting the usual frames of reference and order, making whatever it is the world had been thought to be quite changed and even, again, unknown.
