Ripple Effect: New and Selected Poems

By Elaine Equi

In Ripple Effect: New & Selected Poems, Elaine Equi consolidates thirty years of practicing and perfecting her unique brand of expansive minimalism. As a lover of clarity, wit, and elegance, the aphorism, proverb, haiku, and caption are among her favorite modes of expression. Her poems are quick, yet they also linger long after the first reading because in each of them she has distilled a wide range of literary influences, from classical Chinese, to Surrealist, Objectivist, concrete poetry, New York School, and more. Pop and approachable, erudite and subtle--Equi continues to dazzle with her sophisticated and sly wit.
