Cross-Tie 11.4.14: Dorothy Barresi

"empty shoes like
exclamation points" -- Dorothy Barresi 


"Dorothy Barresi is fearless. Her poems take you by the collar and insist you pay attention. She fluidly combines high and so-called "low" references in surprising ways, transversing a psychic terrain. She helps us understand what it means to be American, to be human. Read the Post-Rapture Diner, Rouge Pulp and her latest, American Fantatics. You will be inspired." -- Candace Pearson
