To Give It Up (New American Poetry)

Winner of one of the 1994 National Poetry Series awards, To Give It Up is a remarkable new collection of poetry by a young poet well on her way to establishing herself in the literary community. Of her selection judge Barbara Guest noted "How fine, how original, humbling in the purity of its tone is To Give It Up. And the creative intensity in which her poems struggle until a calm descends in which the spirit thrives."
