[New-Poetry] Susan Firer

[Skip Fox]

"He is running after / Grace. The brain's spunk."  (Sticky appositive.) She
got me with that one and held me fast throughout.

I hope I'm not the only fan of the poems of Susan Firer, who's featured
today on Verse Daily.

 

http://www.versedaily.org/2007/halofactory.shtml

 

The featured poem is from the "new" section of her new-and-selected volume,
charmingly titled *Milwaukee Does Strange Things To People*, from Backwaters
Press.  A most welcome volume, one I hope gains her some greater
recognition.  The new poems amount to a generous-sized book in themselves:
there are 75 pages of previously uncollected poems along with selections
from her four previous books.

 

The Verse Daily page will also take you to a little selection of other
poems, if you're not familiar with her work.
