Description
Winner of the 2015 New Issues Poetry Prize
''A polyvocal, strident book of immense intelligence, Her, Infinite refuses the fatalistic disharmony between humans and nature. What issues forth in Sawnie Morris's innovative poems is a ceremony of tantalizing music, utterly practical and feminine. Her lines achieve a splendid naturalness that vegetates her own lively freedoms. Against both psychic and industrial defilement of our mountains and rivers, lagoons and mesas, hearts and minds, these poems are sacramental such that language is alluvial and explosive, recovering us back to our spiritual significance.''
—Major Jackson
