American Girl

Poetry. Cynie Cory's poetry delves into the nature of identity, gender, and American experience with frequently remarkable results.

"Cynie Cory roams the outer reaches of the heart's territory, from the snowy winter of family life to the tropical jungles of love. She wears her heart of her sleeve and it is as big as the country she writes about. Is she the quintessential American girl? You bet she is, part Annie Oakley, part Emily Dickinson sharpshooting poet of wild nights. She zooms in on the detritus of love the broken fragments, the fallen leaves and puts together a collage that is as heartbreaking as it is beautiful. Watch out she's driving down your street." Barbara Hamby"
