内容简介

Amanda Nadelberg breaks onto the scene with a book of poems written in alphabetical order to the various people encountered in one's life--passersby, lovers, friends, enemies, the marginalized, and the forgotten. From 'A' to 'Z,' a wild and surprisingly novel book chosen by judge Lisa Jarnot. "There are sixty-three stories in this book of poetry: stories of the naming of peoples in the traditions of the Teutons and the Greeks and the Jews. Imagine all of this information presented to you with a carefulness of what we poets refer to as our prosody: hot prosody, singing sounds, graceful leaps of the lines, well shaped couplets, conversational dexterity--almost eerie in its Rimbaudian perfection. It's delightful--this poet is the antenna of the race"--Lisa Jarnot, from her introduction.
