Tenuous Chapel

A book of poems chosen by Charles Simic for ABZ Press's First Book Award..  From the foreward,  "If the hope of any poem is to render experience in a fresh, unsettling way, she has that gift.  She likes to disorient us, pull the rug from under our expectations, and do so quickly and decisively, so we catch our breath in astonishment and delight...How beautiful, I kept saying to myself again and again reading her poems.  Tuckey may call the chapel in the title of her poems "tenuous" but there's nothing flimsy and insubstantial about all the fine poems she has collected here."  Charles Simic
