Self and Simulacra

Poetry. Liz Waldner's second book, A POINT IS THAT WHICH HAS NO PART, won the Iowa Poetry Prize and the Academy of American Poets Laughlin Prize. Now, in her third book, Waldner again provides evidence of her remarkable ear and intelligence, focusing on the problematics (as the title implies) of SELF AND SIMULACRA. "Liz Waldner is a poet of high wit, high intelligence, and great musical rigor--she may be our Postmodern Metaphysical poet plummeting deeper and deeper with each book into the questions of self, sexuality, and knowing" --Gillian Conoley.
