From a Glass House

Poetry. FROM A GLASS HOUSE is the newest offering from poet and novelist Jan Clausen: "Jan Clausen speaks of gardens, griefs, ladybugs, loves in personal poems that reveal an intensely political life, an engagement with the particular to bring home the whole. Her glass house gleams, shakes, but never shatters" -Hettie Jones. Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, Jan Clausen has lived in Brooklyn since 1974. The recipient of writing fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts and the New York Foundation for the Arts, she is the author of books in several genres. She teaches writing at the New School, at New York University, and in the Goddard College MFA in writing Program.
