<b>Nancy Kuhl:<br>
<i>The Wife of the Left Hand<br>
</i>Wednesday, March 7 @ 5.30PM<br>
</b> <br><br>
Please join us for a reception, book-signing, and reading with <b>Nancy
Kuhl</b> in celebration of her new collection of poems<b><i>.<br><br>
</i></b>In this first full-length collection, Kuhl explores the lyric
possibilities found within the sometimes narrow space of the domestic
interior, caught between the quotidian and the uncanny. In language that
is by turns sensual and spare, elegant and oneiric, the images and music
of this collection reveal and recast the daily ambiguities of living with
others, "the fragile arrangement all blue / at the seams," and
the uncertain line between the hidden and the apparent, like a
"house / with its unswerving spine exposed."<br><br>
"Nancy Kuhl's The Wife of the Left Hand is an amazing, subtle
demonstration of the ways in which domestic containment rubs up against
the chaotic rhythms of human desire. ' One feels here some of Emily
Dickinson's swift reckonings with extremity, some of Plath's ruptured
affect, tempered by the cool detachment of post-feminist critique. -- Ann
Lauterbach<br>
