Body Betrayer (CSU Poetry, No 31)

Poetry. "Few volumes of poetry, let alone first collections, achieve the splendid fusion of intelligence and passion that characterizes BODY BETRAYER. Beckian Fritz Goldberg has an amazing command of technique, but more importantly an ability to look unflinchingly at the ironies and cruelties of our mysterious existence. Her poems are visionary in a rare and hardwon sense, for she seems to see more than the rest of us — because of our timidity or some lack of character — are willing to permit ourselves. Yet Goldberg's broodings invariably transform themselves to a stance that is redemptive rather than despairing. BODY BETRAYER is a remarkable first book" — David Wojahn.
