Stacy Doris's previous books of poetry are Kildare, Paramour, Conference, Knot, Cheerleader's Guide to the World: Council Book, and The Cake Part. She also wrote three books in French and translated three volumes of French poetry into English.
“A roiling, violent lyrical enjambment rides across and through the
pulse of six-syllable lines in these heart-rending poems, braiding
nominal substantives with ruinous but glorious transition. They
stutter and retreat, hoping to stall for time, since “no time’s not
want.” The felt sensual world, natural and artifactual, pivots
toward and away from an acutely embodied appetite and desire,
everywhere routed through love. If Hegel and Paul Celan hover over
these poems, they are angels of thwarted mercy. Fledge.”—Ann
Lauterbach
“Poetry and the world of imagination meant everything, were
everything for Stacy. Her innovative writing was different from
anyone else’s, and different from herself. In other words, every
book was a different experiment in poetry. And yet these
experiments are all chapters from the book of Stacy Doris.” —Norma
Cole
