Lyricism and rich storytelling. . .
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I love this book. Cooley's extraordinary subjects--Patty Hearst, Helen Keller, Adele Hugo, just to name a few--are like treasures you find in a trunk in the attic, unexpected, rich with memory and story. Highly recommended.
Bodies of Love and Loss
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
Nicole Cooley's Resurrection gorgeously chronicles love and losses - mothers and daughters, grandmothers, sisters, daughters and their fathers - and chronicles them through the sensuality of bodies that eat and starve, float and bleed, sleep and bathe and touch underwater. This book is for those who love poetry and those who want to love it more.
New talent will surprise everyone....

What can I say about Nicole Cooley? Nobody nowadays injects character into poems. Nicole presents us with a book that spans the 20th century, with the sort of ease we thought Shakespeare left behind. Histrionic? See what she does with Patty Hearst and call me in the morning... Earns the accolades... This is the best book of poetry to be published in the US in the last two years, and I know it. Nicole Cooley is one of those poets who wakes up in the morning, looks in the mirror, and travels somewhere else. Little wonder, that empathy for Alice. I hope for much, much more from her.
