Paperback Original ISBN: 978-1-932195-73-6 SynopsisJunot Díaz has said, “I’ve read nothing better in the field these last ten years. Angela Shaw is simply furiously miraculous.”Angela Shaw’s new book is likely to be greeted as one of the most powerful debuts of this decade. Both muscular and delicate, these poems plunge a reader back into the sensory world, shaken and exhilarated. Anticipating Shaw’s new book, Alice Fulton has said: It’s thrilling to discover a writer whose mysteries fibrillate with an oddly gorgeous accuracy, whose beautifully made work offers jolts of recognition along with sublime surprises. Such ravishing poems imbue the ineffable—time, mortality, transience—with pathos and urgency. The Beginning of the Fields introduces a poet in full command of her impressive powers.Billy Collins has called Shaw’s new book “a brilliant reminder of what distinguishes poetry from prose. Whether her focus is landscape, clothes, or the rituals of passion, her language is fresh, tense, alert, and keenly aware of the sonic and rhythmic pleasures it provides. Reader, dig in.” Tupelo Press |
