Product Description
Winner of the 1994 Agnes Lynch Starrett Poetry Prize Winner of the 2000 Creative Achievement Award from the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust "In every poem, she keeps her fury contained, but omnipresent, so that it resembles a cornered dog’s warning growl, yet she hints of happier possibilities."—Booklist
Customer Reviews
Jan Beatty captures the beauty of Pittsburgh head-on in "Mad River." She also taps into the pain of growing- whether as a child or an adult- with real, raw emotion. There's a certain sadness that runs through this collection that is tinged with amusement, curiosity, and frankness. From "Not Thinking about Gardenias" to "Grabbing at Beauty," Beatty's voice continuously surprises and challenges the reader.
