Description
"The impact of Norma Cole's work as a writer, artist, and translator crosses continents as well as disciplinary boundaries. I am thrilled that she is finally getting the critical attention that she has long deserved." - Susan Briante, author of Defacing the Monument "Taken together, these essays amplify a powerful alternative to the careerist and technocratic approaches to the field of 'creative writing,' an alternative where poetry, as Norma Cole practices it, is as much an art as a modality where life and curiosity entwine." - Farid Matuk, author of The Real Horse: Poems
