5/17 - Have you read Blue Lash by Jim Armstrong?

The Book is Dead. Long Live the Book.

Have you read the book, Blue Lash, by James Armstrong?

The Krueger Library's copy can be found in our main collection (2nd floor) with the call number PS3551 R4676.

"James Armstrong’s poems sit at the knees of a mute interlocutor, full of power and restraint—the massive, indifferent, moody, beckoning Lake Superior. Influenced by Neruda, Petrarch, Lowell, and the Swedish poet Tomas Tranströmer, Armstrong measures the clang and conceits of civilization against the force of water. " - Milkweed Press



The Book is Dead. Long Live the Book - is a series celebrating the book. Sponsored by the Krueger Library.
