<p>These short stabs to the heart, tell one woman's journey to the other side, the next stop, the last stop. Yes, the voyage is Byronic, and its psychopomp is Dylan, but the true haunting voice is Emily Dickinson in all her mad visionary language and anguish. Yet Cory is a 21st century woman, who roams the globe, reads everything, writes the blues. Shakespeare's whispering in her ear, as she describes her grief, her loss. She says, "I can't describe it. The pressure of want / ing to be." And when she says, "I'm Ann Boleyn," you believe her. This is poetry that takes the top off your head.</p>

Poetry. Cynie Cory's poetry delves into the nature of identity, gender, and American experience with frequently remarkable results."Cynie Cory roams the outer reaches of the heart's territory, from the snowy winter of family life to the tropical jungles of love. She wears her heart of her sleeve and it is as big as the country she writes about. Is she the quintessential American girl? You bet she is, part Annie Oakley, part Emily Dickinson—sharpshooting poet of wild nights. She zooms in on the detritus of love—the broken fragments, the fallen leaves—and puts together a collage that is as heartbreaking as it is beautiful. Watch out—she's driving down your street."—Barbara Hamby
