Placebo Effects : Poems Paperback / softback
by Jeanne Marie Beaumont
Paperback / softback
Description
"This collection of beguiling poems . . . takes as its avenue into experience the palpable, quotidian objects of the intimate environment.
A barometer, an arrangement of flowers, a vase, a carpet, a pyramid of oranges in a city marketplace are seen and then entered as one might enter the action of a film. . . . There is something of the child's wondrous way of seeing the world that electrifies." - Boston Globe "Jeanne Beaumont's poems are smart and full of feeling, heartbreakingly in love with the snares and clarities of the language she writes in, and lit throughout by a kind of wry wonder." - William Matthews "How rare to discover so sly and disarming, so luminous and compelling a debut." - David St.
