These deftly crafted, vivid poems are infused with intense feeling and piercing intelligence, hard-won wisdom and abundant compassion -- Eric Nelson, author of Terrestrials, The Interpretation of Waking Life, and The Twins. With remarkable grace and ease, Karen Glenn hits the nail of human experience dead center. This book is refreshment for those who labor under the misperception that great poetry needs to be obscure. Like fairy tales, these poems tap into the deep reaches and bring back spun gold. --Miles Frieden, Director, Key West Literary Seminar\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eKaren Glenn's poems have appeared in Poetry Northwest, Cream City Review, Nimrod, Seattle Review, Southern Humanities Review, National Forum, Water-Stone, Chattahoochee Review, Cricket, and many others.
