Out of the Blank

“We waited for Word to arrive/ like a messiah in a stagecoach/ or a sheriff riding a thundercloud.”From beloved poet Elaine Equi comes her latest collection of playful, surreal poetry. “Thoughtful, witty, curious" (The New York Times), Equi's subversive voice delicately refracts human experiences from the colors of weather to the strange divisions of our bodies, from the emptiness of family homes to the flow of time itself.
