Late
Psalm
"Imagine how Dante would have written if he were the daughter of Thelonious Monk and Mother Jones and you might have some idea of what Betsy Sholl's Late Psalm is like—a jazzy, heartfelt, no-nonsense Divine Comedy with a social conscience."—David Jauss, author of You Are Not Here "Sholl's descriptive powers are amazing:
'the flesh of swordfish swirls like wood grain / around a knot'
or 'A moment of silence at Soup Kitchen / for our saint of the
quick grip, faking / a side stitch to hide the bottle under his
coat' . . . such snap and vigor, such rueful itemizings! This
book is one dizzying, painful pleasure after another, and I will
read it again and again." Betsy Sholl is the author of five books including The Red Line and Don't Explain, 1997 winner of the Felix Pollak Prize in Poetry. She teaches at the University of Southern Maine and in the MFA program at Vermont College.
