Product Description
From the Back Cover
Astonishing poetry that moves between conversational simplicity and dense metaphor with the ease of a tumbler floating momentarily above her trampoline. Readers who know Elisabeth Harvor as a compelling writer of fiction will experience the thrill of another discovery with Fortress of Chairs, her first book of poetry. Alice Munro says that Harvor has produced "absolutely some of the best, richest, subtlest, craziest, finest writing ever about marriage, kids, sex... LIFE."
