Poetry

Deborah Garrison

Authors: Deborah Garrison
Print type: BOOK

Description:

These poems - accessible, poignant, funny, and original - tell the story of a young woman's progress and predicaments. Devolving in part from the shock of a father's untimely death, they are saturated with life. Deborah Garrison, whose work as an editor and writer has enlivened the pages of The New Yorker for more than a decade, evokes the everyday events of her life with intense feeling and conjures up the universal dilemmas and pleasures of a woman in her twenties trying to come to terms with love and work.
