Reviews
"Angela Sorby says, 'the camera's holier than the human mind: see how it filters out the truth and leaves the beauty.' But Sorby's disposition as a poet is to keep the truth in the picture-the rude, uncoordinated, self-destructive truth-and the skids and barrel rolls of perspective she performs with her idiomatic lyricism always keep the poem alive. 'Do the drivers deserve their down coats?' is only one of many penetrating questions this self-employed private eye will ask in the course of her investigative storytelling."-Tony Hoagland, author ofWhat Narcissism Means to Me , "Angela Sorby's collection blends the comic and the tragic in entirely original ways. These poems gaze inward and outward and travel through the world with a keen eye and an unfailing ear for the miraculous music of ordinary language. She brings to each detail a luminous intensity, made that much more startling by its casual subjects-fender-benders, motherhood, the Midwest. Sorby's is an important voice, speaking to the most important subjects without fear or pretense.Bird Skin Coatis full of striking imagery and compassionate skepticism-an exciting new contribution to American poetry."-Laura Kasischke, author ofDance and Disappear , "Angela Sorby's collection blends the comic and the tragic in entirely original ways.
