A new volume from the winner of the 2007 Barnard Women
Poets Prize.



Poems of arresting intelligence, precision, and beauty. In
wonderfully crafted language, with the startling subtlety of
certain of Emily Dickinson's poems, Lisa Williams takes us into
eerily imagined worlds?the interior of a jellyfish, and the
interior of a glacier; she beguiles us with the most seductive of
poetic possibilities....This slender volume constitutes a journey
of sorts, a pilgrimage 'out' that returns the questing poet,
imagined as a companion 'you,' to her own life.?Joyce Carol
Oates, prize citation.
