Beauties on Mad River (Signal Editions poetry series)

Almost half the poems in this volume are new -- many of the 'keystone' poems inspired by the spirit of the eastern lyric form, the ghazal. "Through the medium of the keystone poems" Conn states, "I perceive more clearly now, and in ways that I did not previously, the themes of individual earlier pieces... These 'plateau' pieces have functioned for me as true keystones, as revelatory glimpses back into my work of the last fifteen years".Jan Conn is the author of 'Beauties on Mad River (Signal Editions poetry series)', published 2000 under ISBN 9781550651409 and ISBN 1550651404.
