About This Item
Lewiston: Confluence Press, 1996. First edition. Hardcover. A fine copy in black cloth with gold spine stamping in a fine dust jacket. Signed by the author on the title page. This book won the Montana Arts Council's First Book Award. The best poems make the simplest and most common words new and resonant, the most complex thoughts and feelings clear and comprehensible. Elizabeth performs these feats in her sensual, wise, and witty poems, disarming readers with her delicacy of thought, her gentle and bemused vision of the body, her irony, and her bold, even flirtatious honesty. 50 pages.
