Straits & Narrows: Poems (Karen & Michael Braziller Books)

"Sidney Wade's imagination is as powerful as any American poet's since Wallace Stevens.” ―Jordan Davis, Slate

Sidney Wade continues to showcase her talents as a poet of potent play in this buoyant sixth collection. Oftentimes reminiscent of the work of Marianne Moore, these striking new poems―rustic, reflective, and typically set lakeside―are limber and unbelievably lean, quick as bubbling brooks, and packed with whimsy and wisdom in equal measure.
