Across the Big Map

By Ruth Altmann

Follow Ruth Altmann as she takes you to the Midwest, New York, the Antarctic in what Alice Notly deems a funny, fleshy, brainy book of poetry. Maureen Owen praises the honesty and lyrical compassion that grace the pages of this rich chronicle of being alive. A native New Yorker, Ruth Altman's past experiences as a reporter, editor, teacher and, currently, a doctorate student, contribute to the varied voices that, according to Bernadette Mayer, demonstrate one's ability to change the world through poetry.
