Title: Phantom pains of madness
Description: Noelle Kocot recalls a break with reality that occurred a decade and a half ago in vivid, raw language, one word per line. The resulting slender columns are sharply focused and intense. There's a cult following for her unique imagination, self-professed in a poem as "filled with pulchritude and peopleness," and her seventh collection does not disappoint.
Subjects: American poetry, Poetry (poetic works by one author)
Time periods: 21st century
