Intruder - Softcover
From acclaimed poet Jill Bialosky: a haunting series of poems about the dangers of eros and the creation of art, “as intense and perfectly noted as violin concertos” (Booklist).

About the Author:
Jill Bialosky is the author of the poetry collections The End of Desire and Subterranean, and her poems appear regularly in journals such as The Paris Review, The American Poetry Review, The Lyric, and Open City. Bialosky is an editor at W. W. Norton and lives in New York City with her husband and son.
From Publishers Weekly:
More self-assured and powerful than her first two, this third book of verse from Bialosky (The End of Desire) modulates between restrained happiness and unpredictable sorrow, beginning by observing her grade-school–aged son, proceeding through troubles in a longstanding marriage and returning time and again to her sense of poetic mission. A dead friend, remembered in Snow in April, shows Bialosky the torment one sees in those who have the need// to understand, to discover, to know, to transcend// the landlocked self. Her lines suggest persistent debts to Louise Glück, whose cadences echo perhaps too strongly throughout these poems. Bialosky is also a novelist and an editor at Norton; these poems show both a storyteller's gift for implicit narrative and a sophisticate's sense of the other arts, with a sequence of short poems based on paintings by Eric Fischl, along with unrhymed sonnets, a skillful sestina and a handful of titles beginning The Poet... (for example, The Poet Discovers the Significance of the Old Manuscripts). Bialosky's book ends up undeniably personal, confirming her in the most serious of all her vocations: the setting down of a tumultuous inner life into clear, shared words. (Oct.)
