Brief Moral History in Blue

by Beth Roberts

Poetry. "Beth Roberts' poems are en route and restless, glimpsing, as they do, what it is the century requires. Such glimpses take hard work with a steadying lens and the willingness to stop abruptly, to implicate oneself in the brief, severe clarity that a lens frames. Throughout her impressive first collection, Roberts' fights to keep the fine synaptical snap of perception alive amidst the world's relentless desire for a long attenuating history" - Lia Purpura.
