Selected Poems

"In INTRODUCTION TO THE WORLD, a book-length serial poem excerpted in the book, she writes, 'In my created head I don't exist.' This concentrated center lends the poems incredible coherence across books, subjects, or topics, from the personal detail of the ROBESON STREET and O'CLOCK through 'The Sea-Garden' (which shares a title with a book by H.D.) and the precision of 'Lines out to Silence.'The format of Selected Poems emphasizes common threads....Because Howe first clarifies her individual perceptions and then writes outward, her language doesn't explain, simplify, or complicate experience, but forms it in an original way."Howe, Fanny is the author of 'Selected Poems' with ISBN 9780520222625 and ISBN 0520222628.
