A barometer, an arrangement of flowers, a vase, a carpet, a pyramid of oranges in a city marketplace are seen and then entered as one might enter the action of a film. . . . There is something of the child's wondrous way of seeing the world that electrifies.\" — \u003cem\u003eBoston Globe\u003c\/em\u003e \"Jeanne Beaumont's poems are smart and full of feeling, heartbreakingly in love with the snares and clarities of the language she writes in, and lit throughout by a kind of wry wonder.\" — William Matthews   \"How rare to discover so sly and disarming, so luminous and compelling a debut.\" — David St. John","brand":"Norton, W.
