In the everyday tally of \"the good against the violence\" the speaker asks, \"why can't the line around the block on the free night\/ at the museum stand for everything, why can't the shriek \/of the girls in summer waves . . . \/ be the call and response of all people living on the earth?\" A descendant of the New York school and the second wave, Greenbaum \"spills\" details that she simultaneously replaces-through the spiraling revelations only poems with an authentic life-force of humanism can nurture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJessica Greenbaum \u003c\/b\u003eis the author of \u003ci\u003eInventing Difficulty\u003c\/i\u003e, winner of the Gerald Cable Prize, and \u003ci\u003eThe Two Yvonnes, \u003c\/i\u003echosen by Paul Muldoon for The Princeton Series of Contemporary Poets.
