David Pichaske writes in the Foreword to this collection: \"Thirty-five years is a long time in anyone's career-long enough to see how things turned out. Long enough to allow us to draw some conclusions. Long enough to trace the arc of a career....\" Joan Colby: Selected Poems represents a body of work \"underwritten by an intelligence itself as fiery as it is sharp\" (Philip Dacey), \"both loud and haunting, both vivid and quiet as a falling stone\" (Christina Zawadiwsky). Includes selections from Blue Woman Dancing in the Nerve (1979), Chagall Poems (1980), Dream Tree (1980), The Boundary Waters (1982), How the Sky Begins to Fall (1982), The Atrocity Book (1986), The Lonely Hearts Killers (1986), and Dead Horses (2012).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith ten books to her credit, Joan Colby has published widely in journals such as Poetry, Atlanta Review, South Dakota Review, Spoon River Poetry Review, New York Quarterly, the new renaissance, Grand Street, Epoch, and Prairie Schooner.
