Poetry. "Poets are not generally reputed to be tough-minded persons, yet they often are?as the poems of Elizabeth Jacobson demonstrate again and again. At once stoical and lush, full of terse, piercing, mindful observations of daily life, these poems look telegraphic on the page, but they are intricate and thoughtful and wild, like the winding skeleton of a 'A lyre snake / its back of petroglyphs/ designed to cloak / his detective life / of eating things still alive.' "HER KNEES PULLED IN is a highly skilled, no-bullshit, sexual and creaturely poetry, accounting for the earthly life of a woman. If I were going to give a friend any book of poems as representative of the inner life of New Mexico, and of what it feels like to be a western woman, it would be this one."?Tony Hoagland "This is a mysterious, terrific book of poetry. Intimate, deep-pulling, solitary, aware. Elizabeth Jacobson is doing exciting work."?Natalie Goldberg
