Pelt

Using the language of the everyday to express the extraordinary, poet Daphne Gottlieb searches for the truths of human experience and finds those truths in relationships, childhood, and a woman on fire. Pelt is a document of survival in a slaughterhouse culture. From preying to praying, the loss of innocence and the innocence of loss, and the most cruel and unusual stuff of all - love - these poems represent a strong, fresh voice in contemporary poetry.
