The Difficult Farm (Small Press Distribution (All Titles))
"This is serious. Heather Christle's poems in THE DIFFICULT FARM are dancing with the mysteries surrounding our condition and enlivening our language in the process. Christle's poems are magical but they're too busy to tell you that. These poems run and jump and float over an ever-evolving landscape where what's at work is the serious business of discovery. In this book you will make discoveries of all kinds. These poems will shoot you to the moon, but which moon?" --James TateTHE DIFFICULT FARM is where you'll find surprising jolts of the sweetest kindness delivered via poetry that's new, urgent, blessed, beautiful, careful, tenacious, a little scary, very scary, and awfully generous to us all. When I read a poem by Heather Christle I'm awed. --Dara Wier
