Shepherdess with an Automatic
by Jane Satterfield
Category: Poetry

Winner of the 2000 Towson University Prize for Literature. Jane Satterfield's poems display many of the best qualities of an ambitious new generation of poets. Intelligent, strictly-phrased, unsentimental, Shepherdess with an Automatic convinces us that the large questions-however unanswerable- remain indispensable: What is one's place in history? In gender? In thought? In the cosmos? Satterfield is a poet of high challenges and rewards. --Greg Glazner.
