Remnants of Hannah

Author: Dara Wier

Publisher: Wave Books (2006)

A deftly woven tenth collection from a respected poet with a rapidly ascending reputation. "Remember when I told you about the memory competitions?" asks Wier in her latest collection. Memories, apologies, and misunderstanding compete in this series of lyric poems that are intricately connected in their ability to recollect and speak to one another. Dara Wier is the author of nine previous collections of poems, most recently Reverse Rapture Verse Press, 2005). A recipient of awards and fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts, the Massachusetts Cultural Council, and the American Poetry Review, she teaches at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst.
