Soft cover. Etat : As New. 1st Edition. First edition, 1st printing. Volume 101 of the Yale Series of Younger Poets, selected by Louise Gluck. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread in AS NEW condition. "For all the music, all the sensuous detail of Fisher's art, her demeanor is essentially cool, measuring, intellectual---speculative may be a more accurate term. Her poems are analytic meditations, their variety and beauty manifestations of extraordinary sensitivity to English syntax. Meaning is here, saturating the lines: this is not meaning like a kite with its neat string of explication attached; neither is it rote repudiation. Many of the poems are exquisite spacially: Fisher likes to use the whole page; her descending accruing shapes mime the sensations of associative thought---phrases seem to flood in from different parts of the mind, different parts of the life. The effect is musical, like the winds taking over from the strings."---Louise Gluck. Pristine copy w/no creases or marks, quite presentable.
