Nancy Kuhl:
The Wife of the Left Hand
Wednesday, March 7 @ 5.30PM


Please join us for a reception, book-signing, and reading with Nancy Kuhl 
in celebration of her new collection of poems.

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."

"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
