Where Shadows Will: Selected Poems 1988-2008

The inaugural volume in the new Spotlight poetry series, Where Shadows Will selects from twenty years of innovative poetry by writer, painter, and translator Norma Cole. Cole has been a fixture of the Bay Area scene since 1977, writing melodic and experimental poetry whose shadow-haunted landscapes embody an exploration of the relationship between language, self, and world. Cole was a member of the circle of poets around Robert Duncan and a fellow traveler of the language poets. Drawing on long out-of-print volumes and recent books — such as her acclaimed Spinoza in Her Youth (2002) — Where Shadows Will confirms Cole’s place as a major avant-garde poet and a leading voice among contemporary women writers.
