Leslie Harrison's debut collection marks the arrival of an assured
new poetic voice. Chosen as the winner of the 2008 Bakeless Prize
in poetry by guest judge Eavan Boland, "Displacement "addresses
questions of place and, of course, displacement -- from marriage
and home -- and explores the aftershocks of being uprooted
physically and emotionally. Paired with Harrison's natural, keen
sense of rhythm, the central themes of impermanence and loss are
heightened by the poems' impeccable structure.
In a masterful display of formal precision, the collection is
filled with "engaging contradictions," says Eavan Boland. In her
introduction, Boland writes, "There is a poignancy, poise, and a
presence about this book and about its traffic between secrecy and
disclosure that allows it to have an unusual force, and a true grip
on its reader. This is a real lyric journey; and the reader will
take it, too."
