Assignation at Vanishing Point

by Jane Satterfield

Poetry. ASSIGNATION AT VANISHING POINT by Jane Satterfield is one of the winners of the Elixir Press Third Annual Poetry Awards. This is her second book of poetry. "Jane Satterfield 's poems are fierce in their intelligence, capacious in their ardor, tuned to the mutable dictions and sedimented histories--the gorgeous, harrowing embeddedness of life on Earth. The vanishing point? Perspective requires it. This beautiful book redeems it"--Linda Gregerson. Her work has appeared in such publications as The Antioch Review, Indiana Review, and Quarterly West.

Smart. Formally diverse. Playful. These poems cross cultures and landscapes (between the US and the UK), with a unique lyric sensibility and a distinctively quirky engagement with language and diction that made the vouce in these poems stand out.

Poetry somewhat in Louise Gluck's vein. Won my copy as a packet of third-place prizes in the Albion College High School Poetry Contest of 2004.
