About
Winner of the 2013 Lexi Rudnitsky First Book Prize, a collection of gemlike poems combining delicacy with unmistakable hardiness. These poems are exquisite, deceptively complex revelations of the domestic and natural worlds: chiseled, unflinching, set beside a painted paper lake/of gilded folds laid straight, /the gowned hills/on hidden feet/late coming light. Reminiscent of the writing of Robert Creeley, Shinn s debut conveys a life condensed deeply felt and keenly observed.
