Like You: Poems - Paperback
by Beth Roberts (Author)
Anti-nostalgic and mutagenerative, productive of thought-experience even while centered on finalities--the limitations of human purview--these poems make sound and image about image and sound at the auratic edges of individualist glamour, in a country field. Their sensuous wit and emotional availability work against and with their flinty grit.
Beth Roberts grew up a pastor's kid, mostly in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. For the 30+ years since graduating from the Iowa Writers' Workshop she's been living in the Illinois-Iowa Quad Cities, but will return to the U.P. in the spring. Her first book of poems, Brief Moral History in Blue, was published by New Issues in 2001. During the many years since it's been other struggles and joys, including work as the editorial director at Augustana College in Rock Island, Illinois.
