Fanny Howe is the author of more than twenty books of
poetry and prose, including Gone, Selected Poems, One Crossed Out,
and a collection of essays, The Wedding Dress.
She lives in New England.
"Fanny Howe employs a sometimes fierce, always passionate, spareness in her lifelong parsing of the exchange between matter and spirit. Her work displays as well a political urgency, that is to say, a profound concern for social justice and for the soundness and fate of the polis, the 'city on a hill.' Writes Emerson, 'The poet is the sayer, the namer, and represents beauty.' Here's the luminous and incontrovertible proof." --Michael Palmer
