Overview

In this debut book of poetry, New Jersey poet Denise La Neve moves from a quiet center of memory - charmed summers in a remote village in the Vosges Mountains of France - to the hard realities around us, where numbers take on arcane meaning, science reveals the secrets of prehistory, and medicine adds its jargon to the mysteries of aging and vulnerability. LaNeve travels afar, not only in the present-day on foreign jaunts and geological amber hunts, but also in the past. As a poet engaged with history, a time traveler, she chooses to narrate in poems the plights of women in danger: stalked in London by Jack the Ripper, smothered and burned in the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory, or slowly poisoned by radium in a factory that made ""glow in the dark"" wristwatches. La Neve writes both poetry and fiction. She was a contributor and editor for a trilogy of three ""Poets of the Palisades"" anthologies: Beyond the Rift (2010), META-LAND (2016), and On the Verge (2020). Her work has also appeared in literary journals, such as Quill and Parchment, Exit 13, The Istanbul Literary Review, Sensations Magazine, The Red Wheelbarrow Anthology, and Platform Review. She co-hosts The Palisades Poetry Series and The High Mountain Meadow Poetry Series, centered in northern New Jersey, with both in-person and zoom events. This is the 317th publication of The Poet's Press.
