Product Description The poems in Apparition Wren are sometimes sensual, sexual, almost rawly empathic to the loneliness and suffering of the characters she writes about (look at 'Mud Pie Underworld,' 'Butcher's Wife'); sometimes Alsop's poems are less narrative, and still beautifully candid and strange.Jean Valentine Door in the Mountain (2004 National Book Award for Poetry) From the Inside Flap The poems in Apparition Wren are sometimes sensual, sexual, almost rawly empathic to the loneliness and suffering of the characters she writes about (look at Mud Pie Underworld, Butchers Wife); sometimes Alsops poems are less narrative, and still beautifully candid and strange. Jean Valentine These are poems possessed of both a remarkable intelligence and a delicate, even lacelike obliquitythey might almost be called disjunctive meditationsthat enact a mysterious and elliptical conversation between language and what remains unsaid.As delicate an artistry as Alsop enacts, there is something sinewy and unsentimental about her perceptions. If this volume had a small window you could peer through, its heart within would be filled with stars, a little scary and terribly beautiful.
