Publisher's Synopsis
" 'In the Beginning and the End' marks the dramatic appearance of a major new voice in contemporary poetry. Pierce's poems are rooted in the American experience, where "we had a barn where Grandma and Grandpa / made love on the floor / to celebrate the purchase of the land." But the author, unconstrained, is a "night train", and her acreage is the cosmos. Buy this book." Charles Bane, Jr., Pushcart Prize nominee, Author of The Chapbook: Poems by Charles Bane, Jr. This book contains not only poetry by the author, but full color images captured by the author of her visual artwork.
