Description

With the adventurousness of Ashbery and the gregariousness of Billy Collins, no ones bag of tricks is as bottomless as Caroline Knoxs.

Theyre Quaker guns, a creative ruse, the kind you couldnt and wouldnt
fire: theyre flotsam, jetsam, or any old trees, ships logs.
Theyre broken masts. Theyre the Friends of the Friends.

Caroline Knox is the winner of the 2005 Maurice English Award and the author of six collections of poetry. Her poems have appeared in The Times Literary Supplement, The Paris Review, and elsewhere.

Reviews

Maurice English Award 2005, Judge F. D. Reeve: "The poetry of Caroline Knox shows a further development of 'The New York School.' It is sophisticated, direct, pungent, highly intelligent, and wonderfully 'with it.'"
