In the Beginning and the End Second edition

? ?In the Beginning and the End? marks the dramatic appearance of a major new voice in contemporary poetry.  Pierce's poems are rooted in the American experience, where ?we had a barn where Grandma and Grandpa / made love on the floor / to celebrate the purchase of the land.?  But the author, unconstrained, is a ?night train?, and her acreage is the cosmos.  Buy this book.? Charles Bane, Jr., Pushcart Prize nominee, Author of The Chapbook:  Poems by Charles Bane, Jr. This book contains not only poetry by the author, but full color images captured by the author of her visual artwork.
