Publisher's Synopsis
Poetry. MYSTERIOUS PERIPHERIES is Karen Kelley's third book of poetry. Clayton Eshleman remarked of HER ANGEL (Singing Horse Press, 1992), that Karen Kelley has an unruly tongue which insists on resexualizing speech....She is the most exciting and engaging poet of a generation now in its early 30's. And L.S. Asekoff says of her second book, Venus Return (Vatic Hum, 1999), This is experimental writing in the best sense; seeking the answers it does not have, it moves from unknowing to knowing to unknowing again. MYSTERIOUS PERIPHERIES continues Kelley's unruly experiments with even greater subtlety and depth.
