“Amanda Powell‘s poems are dark, witty, and intimate; at once autobiographical and formally sophisticated; sound-rich; and full of linguistic surprises. These poems are both deeply embedded in our literary traditions and right on the edge of contemporary poetics. Moving, unflinching and alive, they reward the closest attention with a cornucopia of unexpected pleasures.” –Linda Bamber, author of Metropolitan Tang: Poems and Taking What I Like: Stories (both from Black Sparrow/Godine), and Comic Women, Tragic Men: Gender and Genre in Shakespeare (Stanford U. Press)
