Description: Bargain with the Watchman is American-born Eva Salzman's second book of poems. Her energy, vitality, and capacity for satire persist in bold, outspoken poetry, often disconcerting, always compelling and controlled. The collection includes a couple of sequences: 'Poor Relations' is both cool and emotional in its dealings with erotic and familial love, and 'Masques' is a subversive look at the Muses.
Notes: "Oxford University Press paperback"--T.p. verso.
