Jane Hirshfield recommends my poetry book
Look what I found tucked into the back of the latest Ploughshares literary magazine!
Jane Hirshfield recommends A knife so sharp its edge cannot be seen, by Erin Noteboom (Brick Books, 2023). “Canadian poet Erin Noteboom—also a science communicator with The Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics—is an observer of extraordinary acumen, muscularity, precision, and breadth. Drawing from physics, archeology, etymology, Chernobyl, the life and legacy of Marie Curie, and interior life, Noteboom’s poems have volume and edge, resonance and bite, an equal abundance of feeling and mind. These sui generis, often small poems throw a large and expanding light.
