Do Not Rise

"Beth Bachmann'sTemperwas the last time [in forty years] I remember reading a first book by a poet so prodigally and-the word that came to my mind was-severelygifted. The new poems inDo Not Rise are a quantum leap forward with all the metaphorical leaps, adumbrations, dizzyings, deft, brief knottings that make the poems inTemperso dazzling.A remarkable young talent, and a scary one."-Robert Hass
