Tender Hooks: Poems

Tender Hooks: Poems Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

"A necessary poet with the courage to 'Tell all the truth' and the 'wit to tell it slant.'"—Alice Fulton
Beth Ann Fennelly is fearless in delineating the joys, absorptions, and—yes—jealousies of new motherhood. Having studied motherhood "as if for an exam," reality proved "wilder and deeper and funnier" than anything she'd anticipated. Tender Hooks is Fennelly's spirited exploration of parenting, with all its contradictions and complexities.

Review:

I love this book. If handling is everything, and it is, Beth Ann Fennelly shows that there isn't a subject—no matter how ordinary or domestic—that can't be vitalized by an interesting mind. Page after page, she give us the elan of found language, behind which is a contrarian's passion for finding the true by working against the predictable. (Stephen Dunn)

Review:

Deep smarts, high spirits, and dead-on kick-ass language. (Albert Goldbarth)

Review:

A necessary poet with the courage to 'Tell all the truth' and the 'wit to tell it slant.' (Alice Fulton)
