Shiner

In this electrifying and raw debut anthology, Maggie Nelson unpicks the everyday with the quick alchemy and precision of her later modern classics The Argonauts and Bluets. The poems of Shiner experiment with a variety of stylessyllabic verse, sonnets, macaronic translation, Zen poems, walking poemsto express love, bewilderment, grief, and beauty. This book, Nelsons first, heralded the arrival of a fully formed, virtuoso voice. See more
