Woman Police Officer in Elevator: Poems
Blending the classical with the cosmopolitan, the poems in this emotionally charged collection concern themselves with transformations, dislocations, and metamorphoses of every kind. High-voltage encounters - with a police officer in a New York elevator, a gang of bag-slashers in Mexico City, a hitchhiker in Vermont - leave the record of their transfiguring impact in images of startling power and clarity. Vividly rendered landscapes from Tuscany to New Jersey evolve into bravura meditations on love, myth, history, sexual and social politics. A dark, erotic animus, an exhilarating wit, and a dazzling command of language seduce and delight.
