by Caroline Knox (Author)
A Beaker: New and Selected Poems shows Knox's particular insistence on painterly abstraction, linguistic goofiness, and formal rigor. Free-wheeling allusive artifacts, Knox's poems are visually precise, at times ornate, and often humorous. Selected from the poems of her three previous collections, and including a full complement of new poems, A Beaker places Knox among the most important and original poets of her generation.
