Description: "In civilian histories, her fourth book of poetry, Lee Upton portrays contemporary culture as the many-eyed, monstrous Argus and explores the common gestures among people and among cultures that constitute "foreign relations." Formally ambitious, ranging from short, allusive lyrics to long, intricately patterned sequences, Upton's poems reflect on complicity in and vulnerability to violence.

Her poems also explore moments of hard-won triumph for the vivid, provocative people who inhabit them."--BOOK JACKET.
