The late poet, Nina Cassian, knew the avant-garde's joyful flights and chivalrous desperation. In this collection, she brings poetry to a higher level by inventing a new language that is funny and challenging, imaginative and unique in force and grace. Framed from within by Nina's delightfully witty drawings, this book collects her most famous avant-garde poems, written over six decades.

Her work is so witty and clever, so mordantly funny and skillfully made, that it is impossible to underestimate her driving passions, her wild-eyed fevers, her ferocious presence. Her sense of wonder was intense. - Edward Hirsch Her previous books of poems were published by Norton.
