Practice, Restraint  Cover Image Book Book

Practice, Restraint / Laura Sims.

Sims, Laura, 1973- (Author). Armantrout, Rae, 1947- (blurb writer.). Swensen, Cole, 1955- (blurb writer.). Wright, C. D., 1949-2016 (blurb writer.). Fence Books, (publisher.).

Summary:

Laura Sims' exquisite debut is the work of an organic synthesizer, one practiced in the restrained art of listening. Her poems exhibit an attenuation that is akin to devotion: by means of maxim and miniaturization, she shorts and stacks the products of humanness. Memes and phonemes of a haiku-like fineness are thereby invited--or allowed-- to break the surface of the page.
