""'On a day fresh as a haircut' writes Beth Roberts, 'I left the family for the field. / I looked hard for the body.' This is a book of setting out, of looking for the body--familial, sexual, spiritual, poetic--from which we were somehow, long ago, severed. These poems inhabit, unflinchingly, the "invented and inflicted holes" of a consciousness that is by turns grieving, ironic, self-lacerating, celebratory. Roberts' faith in the renovating powers of lyric tradition is as anxious as it is necessary. This book is gorgeous and true." (Mark Levine)"--mehr

For the 30+ years since graduating from the Iowa Writers' Workshop she's been living in the Illinois-Iowa Quad Cities, but will return to the U.P. in the spring. Her first book of poems, Brief Moral History in Blue, was published by New Issues in 2001. During the many years since it's been other struggles and joys, including work as the editorial director at Augustana College in Rock Island, Illinois.
