Star in the Eye by James Shea
James Shea brings us to the edge of the unknown and points into the darkness, until our eyes adjust and we see that he is pointing at himself, already there. These poems make me wish I had the same dreams Shea has; after reading this book it seems possible--anything does.--Nick Flynn
"With a simplicity of phrasing, directness of address, and nimble first-mindedness, the poems in Star in the Eye convey great depth, zest, and mysteryTheir brevity is anathema to fragmentation; instead playfully and mordantly, they honor "what will suffice," as Stevens says, with a calligraphic precision and flair. If anyone could cut a diamond with a paintbrush, it would be James Shea - his work is so marvelous; utterly lucent and revivifyingly strange." - Dean Young"
A graduate of the Iowa Writers' Workshop, JAMES SHEA is currently a poet-in-residence in the Chicago public schools and teaches at Columbia College Chicago and DePaul University. Star in the Eye is his first book.
