Throughout, Kirsten Kaschock's gestures are contemporary, jagged, and stop-start, wonderfully torqued and rippling with unexpected flights, breaks, and drops. After centuries of literary glamourizing of young, dead heroines, this poet declares a preference for survival, including its inevitable toll of aging, toward a more practical and elemental transcendence. These poems show us an extension and evolution of the legacy of Hopkins and Berryman--a sort of sprung verse for the twenty-first century, an urgent engagement with the world so obliquely signaled here.\"--Carolyne Wright, final judge, Blue Lynx Prize 2019\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKirsten Kaschock\u003c\/b\u003e is author of several poetry books, in addition to a chapbook and a novel: \u003ci\u003eUnfathoms\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eA Beautiful Name for a Girl\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eWindowBoxing\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Dottery\u003c\/i\u003e (winner of the Donald Hall Prize for Poetry), \u003ci\u003eConfessional Sci-Fi: A Primer\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eSleight\u003c\/i\u003e.
