A History of Small Life on a Windy Planet: Poems
Martha Collins
(Author)
Description
Martha Collins's third book of poems, A History of Small Life on a Windy Planet, was chosen by David Ignatow in 1990 for the Poetry Society of America's Alice Fay Di Castagnola work-in-progress award. Citing the jazz staccato with which Collins presents our lives and loves in their perpetual and rapid transformations, Ignatow praised the collection for its unique ability to fix each passing phase of a swiftly moving rootless society in triumphant style.Product Details
