註釋Following her debut collection, Cusp, chosen by Yusef Komunyakaa to win the Bread Loaf Writers' Conference Bakeless Prize, the composed, observed quality of Jennifer Grotz's The Needle will remind readers of the poetry of Elizabeth Bishop and Ellen Bryant Voigt. Whether she is describing a town square in Kraków, where many of these poems are set, the ponies of Ocracoke Island, a boy playing a violin, or clouds, she finds the lyrical details that release an atmosphere of heightened, transcendent attention in which the things of the world become the World, what Zbigniew Herbert called "royal silence." AUTHOR: Jennifer Grotz's debut collection, Cusp, received the 2003 Bakeless Prize and the Best First Book of Poetry Award from the Texas Institute of Letters. She currently teaches at the University of Rochester and serves as the assistant director of the Bread Loaf Writers' Conference. *
