Terese Svoboda's Blog

I found an old Horizon magazine in a closet of my childhood home, the image of a sort of flying goose with a woman at the helm, enough to mesmerize a child, let alone a woman who celebrates whatever feminism she can get. My mother was dying and querulous as she was, I was trying to get purchase on what made up the marriage that begat myself and eight others. Plus--what about the future? What about the future? Enough with elegies. Thank you, Eyewear, for publishing it.

Publisher's Weekly: "Svoboda’s poems are as haunting as they are funny, as pleasurable as they are powerful."

Library Journal: "Not for casual readers or right wingers, this collection should be considered by anyone serious about contemporary poetry."

My fifth book of poetry, this one published by the University of Arkansas press.

Hope you like it!
