Its six sections-point, line, circle, square, triangle, and point again-are explorations of various kinds of longing and loss-sex, death, exile, story, love, and time. Drawing from culture high and low-Eno and Aquinas, Lassie and Donne, Silicon Valley and Walden Pond-these poems offer proof of and proof against the "mortal right-lined circle" of memory and identity. 410 0$aIowa poetry prize. 606 $aAmerican poetry 606 $aAmerican literature 615 0$aAmerican poetry. 615 0$aAmerican literature. 676 $a811.54 676 $a811/.54 700 $aWaldner$b Liz$01527228 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910791136403321 996 $aA point is that which has no part$93769817 997 $aUNINA
