Susan Aizenberg uses a range of techniques in her newest collection of poetry to explore contemporary daily life in a difficult world. She critiques gender, grief, culture, and the myriad experiences that define us. But even when grappling with old wounds, a strain of romance runs throughout the book, reminding readers that it’s between the love and the grief that we’ll find the moments worth being shared and savored.
“Susan Aizenberg is a poet with a wonderfully distinct voice—the poems in A Walk With Frank O’Hara have that difficult-to-achieve illusion of effortlessness I deeply admire, with no fussiness or straining for effect, but rather a clean elegance that allows Aizenberg’s natural lyricism to shine. Aizenberg is one of the most accomplished poets writing in America today."--Erin Belieu, author of Come-Hither Honeycomb: Poems
Mary Helen Stefaniak is the author of three novels, a short story collection, and her first non-fiction book, The Six-Minute Memoir: Fifty-Five Short Essays on Life.
