Interior with Sudden Joy: Poems

by Brenda Shaughnessy

On This Page

Description

Brenda Shaughnessy's beautifully controlled poems house a virtually uncontainable intensity. Haunted & hopeful, fevered & willfully flawed, they seek out multifarious avenues of access to the "strumpet muscle" of the human heart in language that gyrates between necessity & invention. Here is the next illogical step in love poetry.
