Do Not Rise (Pitt Poetry Series)

<div>“Beth Bachmann’s <I>Temper</I> was the last time [in forty years] I remember reading a first book by a poet so prodigally and—the word that came to my mind was—<I>severely</I> gifted. The new poems in <I>Do Not Rise</I> are a quantum leap forward with all the metaphorical leaps, adumbrations, dizzyings, deft, brief knottings that make the poems in <I>Temper</I> so dazzling. A remarkable young talent, and a scary one.”<BR> —Robert Hass</div>
