Shift by Jeredith Merrin

Jeredith Merrin's Shift is aptly titled---from the first page we are tilted, spun, and swept away on waves of waking dream. Time is banished and the spaces inhabited by families and lovers are rebuilt in the subtle architectures of memory. Jeredith Merrin is master of the space, velocity, and lost gravity of our longing: she is a natural painter, an intuitive and astonishing lyric poet.
Merrin, Jeredith: - Jeredith Merrin--brought up in the Pacific Northwest--took her MA in English (specializing in Chaucer), and a PhD from UC Berkeley in Anglo-American Poetry and Poetics. CUP, a special honoree in the 2013 Able Muse Book Award, is her third collection; her previous books are Shift and Bat Ode (University of Chicago Press Phoenix Poets series). She's authored an influential book of criticism on Marianne Moore and Elizabeth Bishop. Her reviews and essays (on Moore, Bishop, Clare, Mew, Amichai, and others), and poems have appeared in Paris Review, Slate, Ploughshares, Southwest Review, Yale Review and elsewhere. A retired Professor of English (The Ohio State University), she lives near Phoenix.
