Silks

by Roberta Spear

Silks is Holt's inaugural volume in The National Poetry Series, and was chosen for the Series by Philip Levine. In her first collection, Roberta Spear combines delicate and precise craft with an adventurous, intense, and encyclopedic imagination. Her poems present an astonishing variety of worlds with an almost magical inevitability because their strength and invention are always faithful to the true and eccentric details of human life. Exact, sensual, playful, and passionate, these are illuminating journeys with an expert guide.
