A Beaker - New and Selected Poems

Poetry. C.D. Wright says of this collection, "Any word be it 'rose' or 'usufruct' is occasion for a larkishness. 'We trip and drop deeply' over and into the drifts of her lines. A most inquisitive poet who relishes living inside her expansive vocabulary, one who has been faxing by the midnight oil while so many others were dipping their quills into dry sockets. Caroline Knox reminds us how 'whangy' and interesting it all is. Do themath, read A BEAKER." Caroline Knox's SLEEPERS AWAKE (Timken Publishers 1994) is also available from SPD. Her other previous collections are The House Party and To Newfoundland (The University of Georgia Press, 1984 and 1989).
