Deborah Landau: The Uses of the Body – Poetry Collection

Description

Copper Canyon Press (paperback, 2015)

She fills her poetry with compelling nouns: wine glasses, bridal gowns, and “books and teacups and ghosts.” And what ghosts: underneath evocative images and poetic play, there’s a moving, yearning mysticism.
