- Summary:
- "A Beaker: New and Selected Poems" shows Knox's particular insistence on painterly abstraction, linguistic goofiness, and formal rigor. Free-wheeling allusive artifacts, Knox's poems are visually precise, at times ornate, and often humorous. Selected from the poems of her three previous collections, and including a full complement of new poems, "A Beaker "places Knox among the most important and original poets of her generation.
