Powells.com Staff Pick
Philip Levine aptly characterizes Dorianne Laux's poems as "gritty,
tough, lyrical." In her newest book, Facts about the Moon, Laux
writes of young women learning to be alive in the world. In the wonderful
short poem "Moon in the Window," the speaker, refusing to romanticize her
childhood, writes, "It took me years to grow a heart / from paper and
glue." Laux's poetry continually shows this tenacity toward the real, to the
tactile, which allows her poems to beat with their own vibrant life.

Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
In her powerful fourth collection, Dorianne Laux once again strikes fire from neighborhood moments: a quiet street at dusk, a pool hall, a bare tree. Focusing on the grace of working people, she captures the pain and beauty of women in all their variety, caught in the "lunar pull" of our time.
Review:
"Laux writes gritty, tough, lyrical poems that depict the actual nature of life in the West today." Philip Levine
