About the Author
Equi's succinct, witty, and innovative work has been widely published, appearing in the The New Yorker, Norton's Postmodern American Poetry, and four recent volumes of The Best American Poetry. A central figure in Chicago's poetics scene during the 70s and 80s, she now lives in New York where she teaches at City College, New School and NYU.
Praise for this book
"Friend to objects, saints and dead celebrities alike, Elaine Equi is the real McCoy: a keeper of the sacred flame of language-joy. Her work realerts us to our earliest love of words as toys, jewels, confections. In doing so she juices up our thinking. What's better than writing that delights as it sharpens the mind? You've heard of 'smart drinks' or 'smart drugs, ' said to chemically boost intellect? These are truly smart poems."
