Donna Masini
(Author)
Description
"The overarching metaphors of film and movie-going appear gracefully" (Lauren Kane, Paris Review) in the poems of 4:30 Movie--by turns intimate and wild, provocative and tender.

Reviews
A stunning, playful, searing, healing collection that will enlarge the reader and revive something crucial in American poetry.--Tracy K. Smith
This is courageous writing, not for what Masini withstood but for how she says it with exquisite dependable skill.--Grace Cavalieri
Donna Masini is, among other things, an incisive chronicler of grief.--Nick Ripatrazone
Masini has a gift for developing the deep trope. And a great love for her sister. Combine the two, and the result is a brilliantly moving book.--Laverne Frith
The collection speaks earnestly about feeling let down and abandoned, yet feverishly seeks solace in art, finding that 'Here the weariest / come to rest / in the swirl / of light and time and water.'--Joe Hoover
[These poems] are extraordinary--electric with anxiety, smart, witty, constantly turning on themselves.... I love this book.--Marie Howe, author of Magdalene
