All You Have to Do Is Ask

By Meredith Walters

Poetry. In this new collection of poems, unlike the vast majority of her contemporaries, and very happily for us, Meredith Walters' linguistic imagination engages more frequently with the wonder of Art than with the narrower concerns of the Self. To enter her poems is to "tender your permission slip at the entrance of an enchanted universe." It's a seriously enchanted universe, informed by the poet's powerful engagement with art and painting and by fresh and imaginative aesthetic questioning. It's a place where everything is animated--objects, ideas, questions--a place where "even the spaces between questions call to you"--Sidney Wade. Meredith Walters was raised in Yorktown, Virginia, and received a M.F.A. from the University of Arizona. She curates art and culture programs for the Brooklyn public library.
