About this title

About the Author:

Maxine Chernoff is the author of five books of poetry including New Faces of 1952, which won the 1985 Carl Sandburg Award, the abcedarium Japan, and Leap Year Day: New and Selected Poems. Co-editor of the journal New American Writing and Professor of Creative Writing at San Francisco State University, she lives with poet Paul Hoover and their three children in Northern California.

Review:

Maxine Chernoff's poems can be read and relished for their brilliant comic timing, but that timing is always indivisible from her extraordinary lyrical and metaphysical gifts. World, her first full-length book of poetry since 1990's Leap Year Day (a new and selected), shows the writer in full command of her powers, lighting out for unmapped and radiant territory. -- Rachel Loden * Jacket Magazine *
