To the New World

By Valerie Duff

This is poetry full of absolute physical celebration - galley stoves, flour, slabs of meat, pollens, a tarnished boat - a gift, really. By turns these poems are violent and sweet, representing many journeys. They are surreal, joyous, startling, and fierce. Valerie Duff earned her masters degree in creative writing from Boston University and Trinity College, Dublin. Her poems have appeared in Ploughshares, Harvard Review, PN Review, AGNI, Translations and Interviews, and elsewhere. She lives in Boston with her husband and two children. "An insightful and entertaining collection, not to be missed."-The Midwest Book Review, Aug. 2010
