For You Who Are Being Obliterated: New & Selected Poems (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781946104717)

"Haunted by history, a ghost dance...enacted with beauty and precision" (Maxine Chernoff) and characterized by "sound orchestration like Lorine Niedecker at her best" (Kevin Killian), For You Who Are Being Obliterated: New & Selected Poems draws from Donna de la Perriè re's five previous collections of poetry and includes more than a dozen new poems that reveal "poetry's essential miracle... vision awash in vision itself" (Donald Revell). In what has been called "the most necessary poetry we've had in a long, long time" (Gillian Conoley), de la Perriè re's work navigates the landscape of gender and violence, familial and regional history, grief and mortality, and the intersection of the material world with the Eternal. "One urgent line at a time is drawn like a blood sample: here is a poet of enormous and visionary talent" (Jane Miller).
