About the book
"Carolyn Steinhoff’s meditations on mind, body and their complicated intersection are moving and original, and important. Her perceptions are consistently acute and her language is fine-tuned, but in confronting the passage of time (or other impossible aspects of the human condition), the approach is straightforward, the voice a ‘speaking’ one, sometimes quiet, sometimes louder, always colloquial and human. I’m tempted to say—I will say—that she raises naked feeling to something like an elegance." —Charles North
About the author

In his blurb for Under the World, the late John Ashbery said, in part, “These are haunting, plangent poems that reverberate in one’s consciousness long after reading.” Carolyn's poems have appeared in Book of Matches, Global Poemic, The Indypendent, Cape Rock, And Then, House Organ, Emerge Literary Journal, The Hat, Conjunctions and many other journals and publications. Her chapbook, Plain English, and her play, The Setting Face to Face with the Clear Light, were published by Texture Press.
