Among the Gorgons

Winner of the 2015 Tampa Review Prize for Poetry.

“Like her ‘92-Year-Old Nude Descending a Staircase,’ Michelle Boisseau’s poems are unashamed, gleeful, outrageous, defiant—turning the tables, exposing false vanities, ‘she peers through the viscous/ heat that ego sizzles in.’ Both feral and sophisticated, her poems rock with the music of embodied language and an irrepressible energy, confronting an enormity of loss the way ‘time and a tree/ can shrug a slab of sidewalk off,’ countering grief’s weight with the living force of a fiery, subversive imagination.” –Eleanor Wilner
