Poetry. IMAGO MUNDI is Michelle Mitchell-Foust's second book of poetry. Stephen Yenser had this to say about it: "a relentlessly curious empiricist happily at large in the world's plenitude--a plenitude as mythical as it is sensuous--Michelle Mitchell-Foust is somehow also a connoisseur of the eerie and the spectral. Master of the odd, brilliantly lit detail, she excels at the labyrinthine, filigreed narrative in which contemporary and historical and fabulous figures intertwine. Hers is a singular and ambitious sensibility that, at every unpredictable turn, testifies to her devotion to the concrete word." Her work has appeared in such publications as The Nation, Colorado Review, and Denver Quarterly. She lives in California.
